    Ten points to Riptide!! Note that the loop hoses all dip below the rad cap level. Nothing like ancient engineering....

    I'm going to build it onto a standard "centerweight" rack shelf. It's the same as the shelf with my monitor and keyboard in the pic. It will go on rack#2, which I picked up Saturday. I'm likely going to go with an expanded metal cage around the unit. I'll also make a slot to hold a 20" by 20" furnace filter in front of the rad.

    The whole mess is going to move out to the garage as soon as I'm done running dedicated circuits. Good thing I put in the biggest service box I could find when I re-did the service panel in the house. I've got 13 empty breaker slots.

    I think you're talking about the GPU version of the fuzion, right? I really didn't think about using those. I used these blocks for the purpose of routing tubes through the top back edge of the cases. That way they could be pulled out and separated from the case without disconnecting the loop. I'll have to look at the other blocks for rack#2. They might work better...

    For now, I'd have to rent-a-misses. My ex decided she wanted her freedom. She got it. I have custody of my daughter/lab assistant....Now you know why I can put this cr*p all over the family room.

    Get some more hamsters and you will need a silage fork to feed them

    Dammit, so many replies since this morning.
    For those that aren't in the know, a silage fork is almost twice as wide with more tines and a sharper deflection. It has a deeper scoop and a shorter handle.

    Good to see someone who knows their forks....

    The number 76134 fork here would be just the ticket. When rack #2 is completed, I may have to build a silo to store the feed....

    Carl... I took over from my boss who made a quick exit shall we say. I only joined the comany the last few months.

    YOU wouldn't believe how true your first statement is. We're talking SERIOUS prior period adjustments.

    Better get her started off right.....I'd run right out and get your first rack. Just the rack, nothing else. Set it up in the living room and let her get used to it. Then parts can start slooowly appearing in it.....Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket....

    When my girlfriend used to come visit in my formative crunching year(s), she had a quick mental note what machines were around the place.

    You have to know these things so you don't get ed at for using the wrong fork and contaminating feed.
    This fork with sh*it on it is on this rack for a reason, use it to bed stalls and gutters, use this wider one for throwing hay out to the older calves, use the broom to push up hay and silage, use this fork for feeding silage.
    Now, I'm sure ddtung knows what kind of silo to use for feeding hamsters. If we're talking dry feed a bin might be a better idea. I'm not sure if these hamster steroids are a powder or some type of liquid. For damp hamster food a silo would be the way to go. For pellets a bin would be better. Of course how many bushels the hamsters can go through would need to be considered as well to decide which would be more economically viable.
    Recap:
    Pellets
    super special hamster food with water and electrolytes
