Just my two cents and besides 300+ Canadien will buy you plenty of commercial waterblocks and a few hockey pucks to boot eh?  or save up ~$500 and buy a used sherline or similar, probably a few on e-bay right now from peeps that bought em and used em once or twice.. |
my interest is a few waterblocks. but at the moment i don't have that much other use for it... don't plan to go commercial...
it's always nice to have the tool... but do i realy need it???
mebe I'll wait a bit, buy some blocks... save my self some $$$... hockey puck anyone?
Thanks MC andy everyone else for the posts.
