Ok it looks like Ozzy Osbornes people feel as though his song should not be in my crappy little video. Hope they don't sue me over my username.

Video should be fixed now.

I couldn't begin to tell you investment. I have been gathering parts for this build over the last 2-3 years. Some things I've bought used in the for sale section some things I've swapped for.

I kinda made a little hobby of buying stuff and selling them with Craigslist and the forums. It made it possible for me to get most of this stuff. It's kind of a joke between friends, they will say "hey have Steve look for it he always finds the deals".

Yeah I made sure the cam would be ok if I added a pro-charger.

But since I added this mod last year I don't think the pro-charger is in my near future.

Video doesn't work on my desk top either, but you have to ask yourself, "Am I ever really through modding?"
