Hey
I doing a group project for uni on Flight Simulators and my contribution is to find out prices for the system, software etc.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find this information.
Cheers

It all depends on what you are looking for. Today most sims for airliners are built by CAE or Alteon, you may want to contact them.
There are some privately built sims around, especially in the UK, very realistic setups etc, google for them and you will find different issues.
There are still some sims around with just 3 axis motion, or even stationary, they have a low price tag.
I worked at Pittsburgh USAir training facility, my crew had to share the visual system with the BAC-1-11 crew next door; happened sometimes that a go around was necessary as the "parallel" crew was on take-off or final approach. This reduced the costs even more.
