If you do decide to get one and want to save some money, I built mine for under $100 and it will run longer than the OE unit. You can decide how many pumps to hook up to it.

Have you seen an EEE before ? They originally came out with a 7" screen, but I think they have 10" now

Lol I have the original eeepc 7" somewhere in my house

Stick it in your electrical box
If I had one lying around, I would have hooked it up to my RKE instead of running a 20' cable

I have to find it lol

As I was looking at all the equipment you have in your electical box (and it looks impressive!) I was wondering if you have any ventelation to disperse the heat, or is there so little heat that it is not an issue? I will not have room in my stand for this kind of box but will likely build something to to sit beside my stand and I am trying to think through the construction of it.

I had thought about the heat building up but the only thing producing heat is the Radion ballasts and they barely produce any heat. If I was still running halides I would have a fan pressuring the box to also force any humidity out (still might for that reason). Also the front is going to be a magnetic skin so it's not sealed in the front.

Couldn't find the eeepc but I did come across my old convertible pc. The screen folds over to become a tablet.



Its sitting with the keyboard down so I locked it out and only use the stylus and remote log in to use it.



Also got the light rack built and hung today



It's aluminium angle that I made a box out of and the Radions just sit in the channel







I know it looks like the the sol is 10x brighter in the last pic but the radions were only at 20% when I took it.
