    I've heard of these guys before but i've no personal experience with them. To be honest you'll spec a great system from the likes of Hardwareversand or Komplett for a lot less than Alpine will want.
    What sim's will you be running? FSX is the toughest flightsim on current hardware and is the reason why i've built the system in my sig!:eek::rolleyes:

    www.hardwareversand.de they only accept bank transfer, and their site is in german, although i believe google does a half decent job of translating.

    If it's just for FS2004 then any decent Intel dual core system should run it maxxed out. Opt for 2GB of memory and pick up a single 8800GT (or equivalent)....Sli is not supported by FS2004/FSX.

    There is an option on the site to change the language to English. Some things are still in German like power supply is called neitzelle or what ever the german is.

    I think FSX is a multi core optomised game so I'd go with a Core 2 Quad tbh.
