    They both have worklogs named "Pegasus" but this thread isn't really based off of a pegasus and is more masculine and the other thread has girly stars and a pegasus on the case... which makes me facepalm.

    It kind of reminds me of the pink s2000 from the FANTF.
    Interesting if not amazing work, but god.... well. I can't say it.

    Either way looking forward to how this ek fest turns out.

    Nice build, a lot cooler. Two powerful pumps, one of the coolest out of reservoirs.
    I hope so forth. I wonder how all this will look like.
    Good luck.

    That. That's a lot of fans. I can has one?

    Haha, but great choice going with the Apaches.
    Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.
