ooo oo ooo My Turn :)

First off, from today forward my office will now be known as "The Pit" :)

The Candy Factory I am working in is remodeling their offices and were going to throw these away so I snagged two of them.

Well this is what I used to have. As you can see, my Flying Setup was not going to transfer well to the new desks. So my wheels started turning. What was I going to do.

Well, I had one of these sitting in the corner of the basement. I'm thinking there has to be a way I can use that.

Well, after some Blood, Sweat and Tears, here's what I came up with.

Oh, sorry, you probably cannot see it too well with that Big Ole comfy chair in the way. How about this shot.

There you have it, "The Pit". Now all I have to do is wheel the cart over, plug in one usb cable and one small extension cord and I am ready to play. I plan on putting some switches and such on the panel at some point. But that will have to come later, my wife isn't letting me play with my tools for awhile now.

AreoXander, Please feel free to copy anything you see. I posted it to help others in their quest for the perfect flight sim setup. I know it took me years to finally get something I liked. And it helps to see what others do.
