Take a look at this sim package including:


AMD 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
4GB RAM
160GB, 7200-RPM Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4250 Video
27-inch LCD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
Windows 7 Home Premium
Lockheed Prepar3D Flight Sim (the next generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator X)

$2,490.00 (rudder pedals not included) plus applicable tax and freight. At this price I assume all necessary tweaking has been done!

I think you will find that the graphic card will not handle Prepar3d. You will need a min. of a 6000 series card. I had a ATI 4570 card and it would run for 20 min before it shut down.

2,500 USD!....(£1,500) ..... :shock: ...!

That sounds horrendously expensive for a computer!

My higher spec, i7 Gaming Computer only cost me £700 (1,200 USD)!

What a rip off!
I had that identical system built with a 6000 series video card, and a sound card for $900 canadian...3 years ago!
And that included the tower case, power supply, and build fee from the shop!

It is still running wonderfully and handles all fsx sliders one notch below max locked at 30 fps, and the only tweak i recall inputing is the one for multicore processors. And it serves as the nerve center for my home recording studio.

I received the ad through my membership in AOPA. Posted it here because I thought it might be good for laughs, especially the price. But more important was that the Jay uses Prepar3D which surprised me.

I follow the Prepar3D forum and know how troublesome and demanding, both in hardware and user computer skill, that Prepar3D CAN be -- for SOME users.

Very interested in the first reviews on the Jay! If any get written. Time will tell
