Perfesser Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 Almost there.... The GPU support they sent with the (4070Ti) card is a bit of a joke. I bought something off Amazon, installed it. Didn't like it. Modified it ... still not very good. I had some 2mm aluminum sheet so I made something solid. Final fit before paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted June 2 Author Report Share Posted June 2 All done and running ..... mostly. It doesn't like some old USB devices, changing ports helped with the head tracking camera. And then the same ..change ports again and working again. Plus my X52 is acting up too... The cooling mods help, it runs .5 deg cooler with the case closed up. Air filter box below blends right in. I bought a display panel for inside the case(bottom left) to display temps etc but I'm having some trouble figuring out the display program. Final parts list. Hmm. The video card is listed here much more than the $879 that I paid for it only a few weeks ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted Sunday at 04:21 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:21 PM X-52 did some more strange things. I was only using the throttles but then they started acting up too. Did much comparing and decided to buy a VKB STECS https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/stecs-throttle-system-mini-plus Smooth, an impressive array of buttons and software even I can figure out. Expandable too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
