awdrgyjo Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 My new rig is arriving this week, i'm on a tight schedule and need to know how much time I need to set aside to get things up and running, this includes: x-52 pro, combat pedals, track IR 5, speakers, headset, gaming keyboard and gaming mouse, and of course BS, thanks in advance.
Pilotasso Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 depends on your experience. If you never assembled one you might take 3 days. With experience maybe 1 day. .

sobek Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 If you know what you are doing, you can probably set it up in 3-5 hours. What takes time is the software. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
EtherealN Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Agreed with Sobek. I always get a little disappointed when building a new machine because it's over so quick, and the building is the one thing I enjoy the most (well, second to selecting the parts, which is something I can spend months planning :P). Getting software, updates, drivers and all of that crap handled isn't as fun though - it sort of feels like standing on a production line and just going through the motions, and takes even longer than the fun bit. :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Count a day and your in, pissed and sleepy. (soft instalation and updates are a PITA.) Agreed, a couple hours to assemble, then the slow tedious stuff begins, of course slow is becoming faster than it used to be! Now days I try to build a disk ahead of time with everything I will need on it...but there is always something I forget about!:( The worst for me is all the little environment tweaks that I have made over time and tend to forget about.
