    Jetline System has arrive!

    My first step is to get this system backed up as is. As you can see below I got Acronis (don't know anything about it but will learn). Do you guy's and gal's use the acronis cloud or just a seperate hard drive for the backup. After that I will connect system to internet and get malware bites loaded up, perhaps the pay version for this computer....your thoughts?
    I did of course fire it up right away to see if all was working and check out the FSX load time and all I can say is WOW! I'm going to like this! Another "cool" thing is no noise! Glad they have the red light inside the box to show me it's turned on...haha
    I hooked it up to my flatscreen tv with HDMI cable and all worked well except no sound. will have to do some research on that. Otherwise I will eventually get a monitor for this one at some point in time.

    All ahead SLOW and take my time getting this machine off the ground

    Went out and got a Seagate 3TB backup drive at local Costco. Not ready to give into the cloud yet. Did a "entire pc back up" and " microsoft fsx" backup. Anything else I need to backup before moving on?

    That is a very nice system!...but...
    You Jetline System fans must have really fat wallets!. $1200+ for labor is ridiculous.
    Your entire system, less labor, is under $2200, delivered, from Newegg.com. And...All of those components have at least 1 year mfg warranties.
    Too bad, I'll bet your local computer pro would have saved you a ton-o-$$ and you would have had local support. Caveat Emptor...Don

    Yeah it's sad. I've tried for years to get my fellow sim enthusiasts to look for alternatives. Here's a post from a couple of years ago.

    Not surprised at the cost of labor, considering its a big name company. I was fortunate, when I (along with a very knowledgable friend) built my system. I couldn't do it on my own though. But when it's time to even update my system (which am thinking about) I'll contact my friend again. He is in the process of building a gaming system that will be a screamer. NC

    Understood about price and supporting locals but.....Jetline folks have the same passion about this hobby as we do and with so many great testimonials from around the flight sim community I decided to support this company. It also puts my mind at rest knowing they take pride in their work and this is Huge in my book. Someday as time permits I will even try building one of the beast myself but now is not the time unfortunately. I do thank you and again understand their is money to be saved going in other direction.

    Time to plant some grass seed in the deserts of fsx with ftx.

    have a great day all

    Some of you SOH "old timers" will recall that Panther was the King of bad landings for a long time; hence the term, "He "Panthered that landing!"
