If you thought this was cool, then check out what this guy did! It cost him upwards of $50,000.

He took a real 737 cockpit and found actual parts for it. Using that, he created a complete simulator for Microsoft's Flight Simulator program. It was even featured on Techlive! last night.

Yeah, I remember seeing that in a magazine I saw at Barnes and Noble. It'd be awesome to have, but kind of a hassle to maintain.
