I Looked again in the light of day and i think its just not what i was thinking of in my head.....

The white looks good i mean the finish and stuff

Im a sucker for lime green since i painted my ute that color 20 yrs ago

The theme is good Biohazard

Im just not sure yet still on the lot coming together and seeming like a "Biohazard" but i still appreciatte the workmanship and creativity and ill wait on the finish product still

Dear Mrs Born,

I am writng to you as the self elected "Extreme Cooling / Modding Liasion". My basic role involes intergrating "Newbies" into the intricasies and cliqueness of these forums main inhabitants.

It has come to the attention of some of the forum members that Darkness has had financial restraints cast upon his efforts to achieve greatness within these forums. An epeen is an important thing to a young growing male and acceptance of his peers is paramount to achieving said epeen.

If you could see your way clear to allow Darkness to aquire some green sata cables and three super silent, exceptionally brillant and epeen inducing fans for his custom build you would be doing both Darkness and the greater modding community a great service.

Previous "Builders" that have faltered at the 11th hour on thier builds and been forced to compromise thier "Dreams" have been subjected to merciless ridicule and conjecture upon thier epeeness.

This is a devasting thing to occur to a young man in the prime of his epeen period and can lead to withdrawl from the community, drinking ( drunk posting is a crime ), loss of libido, hair loss, weight gain and loss of self esteem.

Recovery from a broken epeen is a long and ardous journey taking many years and massive amounts of dollars on "New Projects" that all lead to one person quoting his previous efforts and undoing the whole healing process.

Now Mrs Born im sure your asking yourself "What can i do"? Well thats a good question. Darkness is walking the tightrope strung between Epeen +1 and ridicule and only you can make sure he makes it all the way to +1.

I implore you once again to reconsider your stance and loosen your grip on his Epeeness and allow the purchase of aforementioned Items lest Darkness be subjected to multiple replies of "/whipped".

I thank your for your time in this matter and hope you make the right descion for Darkness, The community and more importanlty Epeen +1 everywhere.

Your Sincerley

Sven76
