Yeah I love it. I got it second hand from a guy up in downingtown. No scratches on it. Very clean and simplistic. Got a matching cabinet for the electronics. I'll be posting up some pics of my prep soon. Cabinet comes in today and waiting on plumbing. Will be heavily modding cabinet for aesthetics. To see the controllers in action.

Apex stand is built. Now I just have to find the cleanest mounting option. Likely going to run all controllers in open area then run the power strip in the cabinet and fish all wires.

Started prefitting my plumbing. Been super busy with work lately. Should be getting it done soon. Anyone have any tips for manifolds off a slip 3/4? Looking for the cleanest possible option and not spend a ton haha
