Sorry for the bad pic.  On sale at Fry's:  $249

...

I'm doing a fresh install of everything.  Installed fresh OS & fresh 180.48 driver last night onto one of my 150Gb 1st gen raptors.  Now I'll put this baby in, install FSX and see what she can do.  

My setup:

1) 1st gen OS drive
2) 1st gen empty-will use for GEX, FEX,  photoscenery, (mesh?) maybe Xplane9 too
3) 2nd gen Vrap for FSX, UTX, (mesh?), MTX, aircraft.

I see your set-up  Wink (wipe drool from mouth) and it makes me want to kick the dog Sadbut he's been good to me so I didn't.
Divorce is too costly and I'd have nothing left to get a decent rig. Angry

Oh well.........Still have my health Grin

Thanks for looking! Smiley

I have already gone in and pulled out twice in the last several weeks.. drive'n my broker crazy right now but he and I have a deal... he cant take any commisions on my moves for the next 6 months and I stay with him in all transactions exclusively through the next 5 years

funny how hungry they are right now

As soon as it rock bottoms, I'm going back in and bet'in the farm

Last time I did that it was back in back in 2002 and I pulled out in late 2007..  

my boat was paid for free and clear on the 'mad money' from that market run
