Hey Guys. Just a note about Route 66, we have over the years been on 
the slow side of shipping but we have improved that and in the next 
few weeks we will be launching our new Route66 site.  I am bringing 
back the VFXSD series E coolers as well as a few new mod kits just for 
this series.
If you don't want to start your computer every time you need your 
manual we still have ALL the VFX series manuals and service docs.
I would love to hear from users on what mod or replacement part they 
would like to see.
