Hi Guys, Been preparing for my new additions which i picking up from Hamm in September. Finally got my racking made, it takes 4x50Ltr really useful tubs. It has 2x36inch heat mats running along the back (a slot cut through the back of the middle panel - idea taken from one of Scotts old posts! thanks Scott!) temps are stable at 90 warm side and 80 cool side - ambient room temp is at 74. The computer room seemed best place for this as is the warmest and quietest room in the house! Let me know what you think, any comments or suggestions appreciated.

D.

Nice neat holes(can tell you are a Graphic Designer)
Looks great.
Unless people are heating the whole room I prefer wood racks as they keep the heat loads better than metal racks.

Nice set up... I'm just on the verge of buying a new computer and really cannot decide between PC or a Mac? Not to keen on Vista so far!

Your room looks great!

Mac or PC... their basically the same thing these days! I find the Mac operating system much more user friendly! I think on the newer Macs you can switch from XP to OS depending on what you prefer!

Thanks for the comments on the set up everyone, I fed them last night with great results! their obviously allot happier in their new enclosure! (although Monica seems determined to try and eat tail first! Rolling Eyes

)
