Helpful hint: Next time you order Ca, Alk, from BRS get them in the 5 gallon size. With a 225g you'll save yourself a lot in time.
Actually I've messed around with the shopping cart at BRS a lot. Shipping is purely based on weight so 5g is 5g. But you save money if you order 5 x 1g containers vs 1 x 5g pail due to quantity discounts.

with that much in shipping. its probably less expensive to have them pack up a crate and ship it up via truck

i've shipped a crate full of car parts from florida for less than 250

and i've shipped 4 car rims (about 80 pounds total) via bax global air for 150 from california

in both of these cases, they let you know when it arrives and you pick it up from their warehouse

I'll show off some pics once the heat syncs come back from Anderson Anodizing. Apparently they are only going to charge me $60 to turn those things black! I can't wait to get the LED's started.

On another note, the Skimz seems to be pulling out some stuff already. I need to tune it a bit as it's over flowed a couple of times... I'm assuming it has something to do with how new I am.

Well that was speedy well done! There's no elegant way to mount those dj strips eh?

The heatsinks will be black? Are they going to be visible?
