    What PC's Should i get

    Hello, i am looking to get two computers, one for prepar3d and visuals, and one for prosim737 to control my cockpit. The only problem i see is that on the first computer im trying to run 5 50' tv's via hdmi, any idea for pc's requirments for both?

    Why, the biggest, baddest, most expensive PC you can afford, of course.

    Seriously...I'm an X-Plane guy (and it runs great on even modest systems), but a sim-builder friend of mine has used these guys and has nothing but praise for their systems, as well as support:

    Hi Richard,

    Looks like this is your first time posting, so are you just starting fresh/new or do you already have a cockpit of sorts (fullsize or desktop)? I ask because you have to consider your hardware beyond the visuals, so both PC's should be the best you can get. However, running 5 large 50" displays on one PC is going too be very difficult to do; especially, if you factor in any add-ons to P3D.

    The only person I know with 5 50" displays in use is Scott Wagner over on this website:

    www.cockpitbuilders.com

    If you're not a member, become one and PM Scott for help. He is a really nice guy, so just explain to him what you plan to do. Tell him Blueskydriver sent you...he knows me

    As for your computers, like Matt says Jetlinesystems is the way to go if you want turn key, but if you know a little about computers you could build them yourself. Although, do your research before and don't go cheap...

    Check out:

    www.newegg.com

    www.tigerdirect.com

    These places usually have good prices.

    Best Regards,

    John

    Ps. Go with NVIDIA cards and not ATI (both will work, but NVIDIA is the better of the two IMHO and most used in flight sim setups for FSX/P3D).
