If you want a great looking piece of hardware that is plug-N-Play ready, then look at this:

You might think about GoFlight. They are more GA design but they are also half that cost.

you can always rip a game controller. I made my radio stack out of a Microsoft Strategic Commander. See some pictures in the photo the gallery or the site below

tunatuk, you might want to try and contact this guy: http://www.opencockpits.com/modules....g2_itemId=6780
His stack looks similar to what I think you want. I may try something similar in the middle future. Good luck.
This is my Radio (when I was working on it).... I used FDS panels and a dissected Go-Flight Gf-166. Works fantastic. Although, I would suggest this... you can buy the individual components from Go-Flight rather then the Dissect method :)
Oh, and of course there are many other options available..... I just happen to have that module and had fun tearing it apart :) and also, as a disclaimer :) to let you know, I use many other components from other manufacturers.... I'm not endorsing any particular vendor, just sharing what I've done :)

Matt that looks real good.
Any more details of how you managed that, what went where etc?
I have come across some other comm/nav providers.
Simkits has a nice looking setup for the general aviation builder

Another one for 737 builders is Flight Illusion.

Hello together :smile:
It's always amazing how one can take like 240+ euros for 10 digits 7-segment displays, two rotaries and two pushbuttons...
Okay, the SimKits-Devices are magnificent, as they also offer stuff like ILS-indication and really look great at the same time... I think, this is how the real thing must feel, but the price... well, that's a different story...
I guess if you really want to stay as cheap as possible, it'd be best to do this on your own, like setting something up with FSBUS or OpenCockpit-Cards - especially when you say assembly is not the problem for you... ;-)
so long,
best regards
