Any 16 year old guy could invest their money into video games  :o

But nobody on my block has this equipment -  ;D

It started from a joystick - and that was only the beginning

Looks like my desk but I have the Saitek yoke, throttle, and they're new pro flight panel :D
What can a 15 year old invest in video games.... ::)....although I dont invest my "own" money into FS, I try to get all my FS stuff for gifts as christmas or birthday because it is quite expensive. :o

The monitor I purchased for a sale price of about $160,
The Hardrive itself is only about $400 (I'm saving up for a good FSX cpu)
The rudder pedals were about $120
the yoke was about $130
and the headset was about $30, but yeah the Yoke is by CH Products and works absolutely great, and the rudder pedals I did not even need to configure, they are "plug and play"

How come you didn't just get the saitek yoke?

Well before I bought anything, I just read alot of reviews on all of the products, and I learned that the Saitek yoke has alot of problems/flaws so thats why I went with the yoke from CH, and i've never had a problem with it

Im pretty sure you wont find them any cheaper...

I find $100 kind of cheap when it comes to FS equipment.
;D


@jerseyflyer--
Oh I see, although idk what problems these people are having with there saitek yokes. I was going to buy the CH yoke but I just got the saitek bundle with the throttle...it was an easyer way to go...maybe I saved a few bucks who knows...
