When Microsoft Flight Simulator's not enough.
Some guys in L.A. built a 737 simulator in a home garage. Scroll from bottom to top on the updates page to watch three years of progress as panels, avionics, visual collimators, and other gadgets get added.

Update: Similar site from a guy in Florida who's done the same thing.

Yeah, ok, just as long as they don't teach anyone who only wants to know how to fly the plane and doesn't need to bother with takeoffs or landings.
-
You know, I reckon if I show this to a mate of mine, he'll probably start trying to build his own version.

Insane. Commendable.

To make the experience even more realistic, they make you wait outside the garage door for three hours before letting you in, not forgetting to subject you to a prodding of intimate parts you pass through the door. And what Chy said.
