13 Quad Core systems!! I seriously doubt his thermostat gets much use in that room.

The only things I could think could improve it seeing money's no object

1.).....he's using a Saitek Flght Pro stick set-up. A nice stick to be sure but theres much better out there (CH Products, etc).

2.) Use 3 ultra high-end CRT projectors in conjunction with a concave screen that wraps around ones peripheral vision.

3.) dedicated cockpit booth

This would also rock for Mecha sims and driving games.

That's not the picture of the setup, that is a stock photo of a much less expensive set up.

Very cool. Now terrorist can learn from the comfort of their own shack.

The first pic is the real thing (I pretty sure) for reference.

EDIT x2 : He's using a pro level flight sim software package (http://aerowinx.de/) rather than a MS product.
