    one thing i took me for years to learn in this hobby is get the exact thing you want, don't buy something just because you get the itch and don't cut corners
    this is the only way to avoid regretting a purchase.

    Yeah the lighting SUCKS. Might not get much growth out of frags, they can take a while to take off under pc.

    I would pass. Man, $300 is a lot these days. Get employed first before expanding. Listen to Uncle John and Uncle Luna.
