    And as a bonus!
     
    I have been asked a few times now how i bent my pipe for my SR 2 build,so i decided to do a little walk thru.

    The tools you will need are these:



    A Cup of Tea...mine was a milky number to get the juices flowing.
    A set of benders...these are for half-hard pipe,not annealed pipe as annealed is thin walled and should be bent by hand.
    A Cutter for the chosen OD of your tube
    A Ruler
    Some tape.

    I recommend Rothenberger benders,these are high quality and are worth the extra.
    Otherwise,you may have to 'mod' the benders..like this:

    The top guide was poorly aligned and needed a bit of work before use.
    Poorly aligned guides can distort the tube and put creases down the length of the bend.

    So..take a bit of tape to make a base mark.


    Place the base mark on the 0 point of the bender.



    Line up the guide with the 0 mark.



    Make the bend using constant pressure,dont snatch at it,use nice firm and even pressure.



    Once you have made your bend,measure the distance from the 0 mark and the outer wall of the bend.



    This is the radius measurement,in this case 28mm,remember this as it will allow you to make accurate 90-90 bends to go 180 like this.



    To cut the tube to length,use the cutter,rotating the the direction indicated on the tool.
    Try to keep everything straight when cutting,the cutter can spiral if its not held 90 to the pipe.



    This a basic guide,for any specific info,please comment below.

    So as I'm sure many of you have heard Google has released an app called "Google Cardboard" too allow users to have virtual reality with nothing but their phone, a cardboard box, and a couple lenses.
    All you have to do is download the app and either build your own or purchase a pre-assembled cardboard vr set (~$25) then simply slip your phone in the box and launch the app. When you look into the box each eye will see half the screen and you will see in 3D.
     
    But wait! There's More! An app called "Limelight Gamestream" exists for android that basically catches the signal output of the Nvidia gamestream to use any android device as a shield tablet so basically you can stream ANYTHING from your PC to your android.
     
    Drum roll please.... Now imagine them.... combined! <Insert head explosion here>
     
    Now I haven't found an app that will do this yet but if something exists to cardboard-ify anything on your phones screen then you would be able to stream say I don't know... Fallout New Vegas to your device and take a walk around the Mojave dessert without needing to purchase anything addition except for the cardboard itself.
