    Not fair oliver. Using lasers and industrial heating elements to build test rigs. Test rigs should be gnarly. Salvaged beige boxes from the mid-80's or even empty cardboard boxes. They shouldn't be stylish.

    I kid. Seriously nice work and congrats on getting some $ for your talents.

    Editor: Richmond Terrace, it is really close to Clifton. That is my first choice, the second is 3km out from the uni, halls called Durdham. Richmond Terrace seems perfect for me - 97 residences in flats of 4-7 and 10 minute walk from the Computer Science block.

    Raiden, thanks :) I want to keep onto the designs if you don't mind - havn't given up entirely on getting them made somewhere.
