    It's for something called a 'GHL Profilux' which is an aquarium computer.
    As standard, the P2 version, which i've just bought comes standard with a RS323 port, USB is a £45 extra, and LAN is a £100+ extra. The P3 model has all 3 connectors, but a starting price of £470 put it out of budget, as i paid £225 for mine.
    Aquarium Computers are a niche product, and the GHL is the best of them, hence the high prices.

    Definitely an entertaining show. Really interesting to compare Laurie then to now. A wise decision

    I got one of these yesterday:

    [​IMG]

    It's a Chicago Pneumatic CP8252 Composite body air impact wrench

    My old impact wrench was never really up to heavy work, as it was an el-cheapo chinese made thing that I got off fleabay... It sometimes had a hard time taking wheel nuts off.

    No chance of that with the new one - it has an operating torque of 300-800 Nm (or 220-590 ft.lbs in old money), so it should handle anything that I throw at it.

    Probably too much of a good thing. Naught but hub-nuts that take that kind of torque happily. :D

    For $13USD, had to get the cable replaced (pried it apart and replaced it, works like a charm). And because the seller is so nice, I can go pick up another one at his warehouse. :) This thing is miles better than my MX518 in terms of comfort. Although admittedly somewhat flimsy, it's still not bad at all.

    Honestly not the most expensive or fancy case, but it's for a build for a friend and seeing as I got it for $30 plus 3 free fans (which work) and the case was in decent condition, I think I'll live, not to mention that it's about $20 cheaper minus shipping, which so happens to be so friggin excessive.
