Will this cockpit setup work?

I am looking at building the cockpit listed in the link. It will be made out of angle iron and sheet metal, since my Dad owns a sheetmetal shop. I plan on using the following equipment:

CH Yoke and Pedals USB
PFC Throttle setup (box with gear and flap levers)
GoFlight modules

I am planning on getting the CH Yoke LE since I will not be using the throttle setup on the yoke. The cockpit front will be made from sheetmetal, with a small shelf that the yoke will attach to. The PFC throttle unit will be partially recessed and then I will use metal to cover all of the box but the levers since I want to use the GoFlight gear and trim module. It will end up looking a lot like the new cessna panels. There will be a 19" monitor on a stand as in the pic.

Question 1: Will the CH Yoke, pedals, PFC throttle, and GoFlight modules all work together?

Question 2: Would it be wise to put a second monitor below the first for the gauges, and then use the top for the the outside view? I like to fly in both 2D and virutal cockpits, and like to see the aircraft from the outside too. How would this work with 2 monitors attached to one system? I have a TI4200 card with the DVI and standard video out that I could use.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!

Looks cool, yet expensive...I can't really offer any help, seeing as how I'm only using the CH yoke and pedals, which I am VERY proud of. Good luck!

Yes, it will be rather expensive. I am working on my Instrument rating now and will be obtaining my commercial and CFI afterwared. It costs around $100 an hour to train in the real thing, and I think FS2002 with the right equipment will allow me to practice my weak areas and to stay current.

I probably won't get all of the GOFlight modules right away. Initial cost should be around $1000 to $1500.
