    I think "if you need to ask how much, you can't afford it" applies here
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    it was actually most likely Mineral Oil. Puget systems did this years ago and had a system running over a year or more before the need to change the oil. its hardly a new concept and for hexus to say its somethig they havent heard makes me wonder what cave they've been living in
