I've been thinking about getting one [$80 U.S] but setting it up looks to be troublesome.  I mean with all the things computers have as peripherals sitting around our desks where is there room to set this up?

Alright you serious flight simulator pilots, let's see some pics of your setup area with the X-45 in use on a daily basis  ;)
