The OVO-4 takes home flight simulation to a new level
The OVO-04 is made by Virtual Fly who advertise it as a plug&play flight simulator that is very quiet and free of the need for a keyboard and mouse inside. It even has the PC shipped with it as a separate module containing the FSX software required to make it function. Serious flight simulation fans are most likely drooling right about now.

Being on a pension now I'll have to settle for the one on the computer. Oh well, others will enjoy this for sure. I think it'd be great for a kids toy too.

You could buy a real airplane and a pilot's license for $57k.
