Doesn't even come close to that level of engineering..... Man that's a new level to aspire too.
I have kept said picture locally stored on my SSD since i first discovered it some time ago
serves as inspiration to me and to others lucky enough to witness its glory

with continued hard work/dedication i will strive to attain greatness of similar magnitude

world class is an understatement

I would bring in fresh air and run in the evening. And thanks ill try to find your thread for those bud shots.
100 cfm in a sealed area with intake at the bottom won't cool 400 watt let alone 1000w. I see a 5° rise 8" below the led. I run the LEDs 10 to 12 inches depending on the wattage I am running. Stealth here no noise.

Ok your right I'm wrong. Your not sealed, intake cancels that out unless you have a damper on.

Thank you, Sir! I take that kind of recognition and appreciation as my highest personal reward, not even kidding.

No noise? Then passive is the shit. Look into convection tunnels; where using the fact that heat rises can help you ventilate more effectively.

But does it spin? And just where are all the cords going?
Yes, it rotated, but the lamps themselves did not. Two swivels; one at the center of the bar, and the lights themselves hanging from the other. No need to cut the cords that way.

The cords themselves actually carried the exhaust ducting.

I might still have that bicycle, would it count as grow history if I tried to sell it to the Smithstonian?

Well I've got it saved now as a reminder of when engineering goes awry :P

Put it in a glass box and sell it on ebay :P or keep it as a display piece.

I can't believe this post is still going, this has gotta be one of the most popular threads on this forum.

No man, it's a trader's term; if a stock you believe in falls, that's an opportunity to increase your position at a discount, so 'back up the truck' and dump more money in it.

I'm thinking about buying a position in Cree, myself.
Went down pretty good yesterday. down a little today too i think. If it goes down to 27 ill be buying some more shares. Was over 32 a share by market close last friday. I don't know a lot about the stock game. I just said why not when this whole cob thing started. I still see it being near 40 a share by november.
