again its not so much "how its done"(cooling)
Its why its done in the big picture,hiding behind the label "hobbyist" fools far fewer then anticipated.
The last 5-6 years has really junked out this hobby to a point of no return
Its good to see efforts far and above shoving rats to a snake in a tub
and rushing to market

I'm not sure what the pros and cons of artificial cooling etc are, but it certainly appears to make a difference "in the wild"
