I figured those would be stretching like that. They do look good though!

I couldn't help but notice the portion of this thread about network hardware. For building things, ever slap extra NICs into an old Pentium and use FreeBSD to turn it into a super cheap switch or signal repeater ?

There's other ways to smoke science; Run an AMD Athlon XP Processor without a fan or heat sink

I usually just hit up ebay and buy old switches. I've built a few different kinds of signal repeaters but they use mcu that have ethernet interfaces, same concept as repurposing hardware, just a smaller form factor.

That's awesome man! I've seen everything from a small PC with a slow processor that runs cooler used as a Firewall, to loading up NICs in an old 486 to use as a Router or switch, to using an old broken laptop as a digital picture frame, and even an Emulator for arcade games. I don't know if I still have it, but I had a book called Linux Projects or something along those lines, and it showed you how take old hardware and turn it into things that were fun little hardware projects and things. I actually still have the very first PC I ever bought WAY back when I was 17 or 18 years old; Pentium III, 733 MHz, added a Hard Drive, set it up as an FTP server so I could do back ups from all the PCs and Laptops to a single location over the Network, video card in it is basically dead, but SSH is running, so, once it's booted I can still log in over the Net and do admin stuff and run my FTP server LOL. By the way I do have a Nerd thread on here if you're interested

Hey bro, here's my Nerd thread if you're interested

Didn't want to derail your thread.
How many other Computer Nerds are here?
These pictures are pretty old showing some of my Desktops but I think they look awesome still: This one was a screen shot I did when I was in college and did a presentation of what a "Sniffer" looks like reading TCP/IP Traffic in real time: Same thing, and me running Nmap to show what...

Looking wonderful bro!
If it didn't cost any money, would you swap the cobs for another scorpion?

I'm doing one more run with the diablo to drive the point home. 10x cxb3590 3500k ($32 from rapidled... cheaper elsewhere) at 560w at the wall do a better job, at a fixed height, at lower wattage (diablo is 650ish) but same umol on the ePAR in my situation. We can't apply this to everyone because for certain situations the diablo might be a better choice, and do a better job than lights meant for high bay lighting. This isn't really a fair side by side, because the spaces are different in shape which could also have something to do with it, I could rule that out by moving the light into the smaller space and seeing if the growth pattern moves with it.
