A simple, but interesting, sim-pit idea

Those full size cockpits that people build in their home are certainly interesting, but lets face it - most of us wouldn't want it in our home, never mind the time & money spent building them.
This, on the other hand (something that I found sometime last year) is small and simple.
If all of the USB cables went to a powered hub, or two, then you could quickly take it down and put it away.
My only negative on the setup is that the instruments would be somewhat hard to read as they'd be almost directly below your head. Moved back even six inches, and the numbers on the instruments would be much easier to read.
Even building it should be within the capability of most people.
