AS I SAID IN A PREVIOUS POST I STARTED OFF USING A LAPTOP. 256MB GRAPHICS CARD. NOT GREAT. I DECIDED TO BUY A COMPUTER. I FOUND ONE ON EBAY AND GOT VERY GOOD DEAL. I DO HAVE A COUPLE PROBLEMS WITH IT AND I HAD TO PUT A DIFFERENT HARD DRIVE IN IT ( I GOT THE HARD DRIVE THAT I TOOK FROM A LAPTOP ). I ALSO JUST REPLACED THE SATA CABLE, BUT THE PREVIOUS CABLE I BROKE. HOWEVER, DISPITE THE PROBLEMS, THE GRAPHICS CARD IS REALLY GOOD FOR X PLANE 10. IT IS A MSI FROZRIII RADEON 7850 2GB DDR5. IT HAS AMD EYEFINITY SO I MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR A MULTIPLE DISPLAY. I GOT THE COMPUTER FOR AROUND $120 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT IS CHEAPER THAN IF I JUST BOUGHT THE GRAPHICS NEW!!!! SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR COCKPIT, CHECK OUT USED. EVEN IF THERE IS PROBLEMS YOU CAN LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT COMPUTERS.
THE PROJECTOR THAT I AM USING RIGHT NOW ( I HOPE TO GET MORE ) IS A HITACHI CPX5 2500 LUMEN. I BOUGHT THIS ALSO USED FROM EBAY AND GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL. I HAD TO MAKE AN AIR FILTER FOR IT. I USED A FILTER THAT ONE WOULD USE IN A FURNACE. IT WORKS FAIRLY GOOD. I WILL SHOW A PHOTO OF IT RUNNING IN A DIFFERENT POST.
I DID HAVE TO BUY A VGA TO DVI CONVERTER.
BOUGHT IT USED FROM AMAZON.
