fuck this things about 6 years old....when i built it it was top o the line...

was actually hoping for it to die...and if it got hit by a surge then perfect, call my cousin, he writes up a letter, give it to the insurance company...i get a check, buy a cheap ass box, and i have a great down payment on a bike
