I need to do some wire management, sorry.

Far as MSFS goes, I use one of the throttle switches for nose wheel steer NWS, lifesaver when using VR. To the left which is barely visible is my G1 Transformers original toys back from 1985-1987. Love them

Pretty slick set up.... I like the look of the square keypads, though other than I believe they are for setting nav or mission parameter stuff, I know nothing about them. I'll add on misc items in the future as I learn different items.... I dont think VR is in my future... I'm really prone to motion sickness with different types of screen imagery movement. Heck, I can get nauseated watching a train go by.... yet i worked offshore on deep water drilling rigs for years.... As for the wires/cables, theres always something to look forward to doing....

So I just finished building my computer desk/hutch today… I’m ok with a saw, and nail guns, not so much with the brush… My wood finishing skills suck… lol… I think part of it is a lack of patience… So here’s the very early stages of my set up… My wife also surprised me with an Alienware Gaming Chair…

This is a “built in desk” and the riser section for the monitors will probably come back off to trim the height… Just gotta figure that part out… The edgeless monitors are only bent down and gapped at the bottom until I get the height issue sorted… It’s an uphill glance right now… Might get a taller chair like my wife uses…

I’m still awaiting the arrival of the Alienware keyboard and mouse, though the mouse will probably remain packaged and in the closet… I’m a trackball user for my rodent needs…

There is a bladeless fan behind the riser on the right side, next to the computer itself… This fan blows towards the side case air intakes… The riser is only “covering” a small portion of the intake face, and there is a deceptively large gap between the riser leg and case…

The sub for the speaker system is on the left side next to the safe… the speakers themselves are peeking out on the left and right side of the center two risers, below the center monitor… It’s all snug, which for cutting up a monitor box and making a template to take out to my shop, no complaints…

Oh, and I see one of my laser levels peeking out over the right monitor… I’m considering some shelving… but may opt for some aviation art work… I have a huge art piece of a Camaro that will mount over the monitors… And this install won’t be complete until the wiring is cleaned up… My wife will put her foot down… lol… not really, but I do it for her…
