Hardware & Technical Please Recommend Desktop PC Setup/Peripherals for Elite Dangerous

Here is what it looks like when it's setup...

That is so sweet! I'm literally laughing right now and saying out loud (to myself) "That looks just like a frickin' cockpit". It's so cool it's funny. I'll never have a setup that cool, but I am seeing some of the ideas you guys have given me and am now starting to think more about how I should set this up. I was just going to use the desk I have, and will probably still do that, but I now see that it is not a perfect setup to work with these peripherals. Oh well. We'll see.

And your the second person to strongly recommend voice attack. I will definitely get that.

If you really want the full experience, I'd get an x52 pro, and CH Pro Pedals. Oh, and Voice Attack...best $8 I have ever spent on software.

I absolutely suck at First Person Shooters, and prefer turn based strategy games too, but have always been fond of space flight sims, all the way back to the original Elite, Wing Commander Series, X-Wing series. It is entirely possible to suck at Real Time Strategy/Twitch games and still be good at, and enjoy Elite!

Not sure if you ever played or even heard of it, but I still have Tachyon: The Fringe working on my Windows 98 computer. Bruce Campbell does the voice of the lead character, and very beautiful space scenes for it's day. Fun game. You can't change the difficulty setting and it got a little too easy once you got the hang of it. But still fun.
