Local Builder

John,

You sound like me, what I did was go to a local computer shop builder told him what I wanted to do; told him that I had checked the usual online sites for computers and their specs. He can back and said that he would put together a custom built machine for the same or less than anyone online with no frieght; and one year service.

That is the machine I have now along with full surround sound; a forcefeed back joystick and all. Make sure you get a forcefeed back joystick, when you pull the trigger you feel the recoil in the stick. Or if the plane stalls you feel the shudder.

The other nice thing about a local builder; any problems I just take it in to him. So far I have not had a problem. Since I also do a great deal of graphics in Photoshop I also have a great deal of RAM. for manipulating large graphics files.

Just my two cents!. The other nice benefit of the local guy; since I got it all through him; I get head of the line privilage on service calls.

Have a great day!

Ken
