I use this for all my home PC stuff, but 80% of it is flight-sim related. These pics don't show the fully articulating armiture I already installed under the monitor arm for my wireless keyboard. I'll post them later this week.

My setup includes a Dell 2707WFP on an articulating wallmount designed for flat-panel TV's, an Akers-Barnes seat section with a ratchet seat inserted (I took down the A-B dash section when I got my new monitor), and a small fridge for those...erm...longer flights.

It works for me at least. :p

That's a nice setup. Does the Ergotron keyboard arm work really well for you. I'm going to be getting their monitor arm for my setup (the desk clamp version) so having somebody who has already tried one of their products would be a real help.

Very nice setup, clean.
I like the left handed HOTAS too. :)

Yes, The keyboard armiture was somewhat of an unknown for me as I hadn't actually put my hands on one. The price on them is steep as well if you pay retail. Luckily, I found one on ebay for about $80 brand new so I snatched it up.

it's a good piece of kit.

As far as the lefty-HOTAS goes, I have serial #3 and the Throttle is absent because it's been removed for another upgrade/mod (Franken-Potato FTW!)

I really like mine and thank Mark every time I sit down to fly. :joystick:
