Building A Home Virtual Cockpit

Heyy Im new here and sorry, I was unsure were i should post this


Anyway Im planning on building A virtual cockpit (simple one) in my room and need a few tips and recommendations if anyone has built one themselves.

My cockpit consists of

A 37" plasma main screen of the cockpit,
2 19" screens for flight controls and gps, maps, toggles etc,
A saitek pro flight yoke and throttle levers
Im using Flight sim X

I dont have a design im just stacking them on my table and mouting the plasma, if someone could give me a kick start for a nice design to make it look like a awesome cockpit then

To power all this im using a Macbook Pro, the problem im facing is how can i wire up all 3 screens on a laptop? Ive seen other cockpits where multiple pcs are used, but i only have a macbook pro..

If anyone knows any devices i could use to connect the screens, also if anyone knows were i can buy some flight controls.

thank you for your helpp!!
