My main "sport" is simulator flying (frustrated, would, be pilot) not necessarily FSX but the add ons associated. Retired / working pilots enjoy them for their close to reality experience. Started building seriously about 4 years ago or at least, laying the buying foundations - purchase list's and day dreams. As we all do~ be lovely to have TLT's resources. Ahhhh such is life.....Began with a dabble and now have a HAF in the water cooling rebuild process a X48 with a good 4Ghz overclocked E5800 before water rework. Asus north bridge seem to stiffle most o/c's hence the water route. My HTPC sojourns have also developed - I now have a water cooled X58 I7 sabretooth under my TV with a zalman reserator to the side, allowing me to armchair Sim in the living room. Plus all the media benefits. I am a retired engineer (early for health reasons) but proud without bragging at 62 ~ cheers everyone ~ I like it here
