LOL. I'm scared to bring it up. I think I need to sell a whole lot of stuff quickly so I can at least say it didn't cost me anything.

I must agree - the machining is very nice. I didn't realise that real Pelican cases have a two-stage clip. I thought about doing dark libraries, but I'll wait till I see what the cooling is like during the hot weather. Might have to settle on -15 until the winter months arrive. I think the water cooling option will be necessary for next summer, but it seemed like too much trouble whilst learning. I found a cheap 12v pump on eBay - will let you know how it goes.
Hope this weekend's forecast improves

I think Allan Gould has been getting down to -20 without any issues over Summer David.
