    Sounds like a very nice build to me (albeit an expensive one!).

    Haha yeah it's a little hard on the pocket book, luckily I've been able to find most items used and in perfect condition

    although I'm a bit mechanically challenged, I think the plan sounds perfect! Can't wait to see this up and running. A rimless starfire tank sounds totally awesome in and of itself :)

    Haha I know it's been a slow process gathering all the needed items, the last things I have to buy are the radions...

    Might be a noob question, but what are the benefits of using a rimless tank?
