It does look good Chris but I had to give you hard time.  It was my way of asking for a video!

Looks good, but we NEED MORE INFO.  What's the node count and setup?

EtherDongle - > SS 16port Active hub -> 8 SSC's  attached to 8 strings of 80 nodes double backed at the top, to make it appear to have 16 strings of 40 nodes.

10ft piece of 2" PVC pipe, with a bushing and a flange held up by 4 guy wires, (and the 16 "strings")

640 smart string nodes total.  every one, either siliconed, or plastic dipped, and individually zip tied to the line. straw hat pointing up.

powered by the Rosewill PSU that RJ had recommended back in the spring. (ironicly, i bought a backup to have after seeing a deal at Newegg, it ended up being the same exact model)
