737 Steps, Cost, etc.

For those of you have built or are currently building a 737 simulator I have a couple questions that I want to try and get answered. Where did you get your parts(what supplier), what order did you do things in, how long did it take you, what'd you do for the yoke and throttle, did you buy mostly preassembled parts or parts that you had to do most of the work on(and what you thought of this method), how'd you make your shell, how much did everything cost, how much circuitry is involved in the build it yourself method, any other advice/experiences, etc? Thanks for your help as I know this is a long list of questions.
