Sim racers are among the most enthusiastic of all gamers, often spending thousands of dollars on equipment on top of thousands more on PCs and monitors.

There's the flight sim crowd.

These guys are selling a six gauge "starter pack" for about 1500 euros. I imagine that one wants at least the basic controls too.

Looks like 845 euros for the pedals, 500 euros for the yoke, and 230 for the throttle. It also looks like the throttle doesn't come with the throttle controller, so that's another 150 euros.
