Hay Morry, check out Polycarbonate Tubing, 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD x 1/16" Wall, Clear Color 24" L. This is much stronger than acrylic and is easier to bend. It is also less likely to develop cracks. It is less chemically resistant.

I just booted up my most recent build. I've been out of the pc game since 2007. It actually started right up and windows installed without issue. Now I just need to decide what Graphics card. Is it true mantle is a gpu based technology. Meaning it would be ok to have an intel processor with a radeon card and still get all the supposed advantages of mantle. I heard a pretty solid case today for a radeon card extending the life of my intel 3570 ivy bridge quad core. Do you folks agree with that statement?

Best pc podcast. It' s nice that you guys don't speak like your audience is dumb. Other shows seem to talk like their audience is a bunch of small children.
