Awesome build man loving following it, keep it up!

ROFL I bought this off craigstlist never saw the posting here haha. Daisy just FYI it's cleaning up great and going to make a post tomorrow in the topic below. I thought the stand would go perfect with my existing furniture but once I got it home the red really really came out and looked out of place so I sanded it a bit and restained it a almost black color which fits the color of my living room furniture better .

Well one 3/4 is very easy to bend if you can just find you something sturdy enough and big enough to bend it around. 2. when you go to home depot walk across the aisle grab a bender and just do a rough measurement and bend it right there. (The will also do this for you if you find someone and if you have the measurements they can get it pretty close with out doing any cutting). 3. Same home depot will rent one for 10$ a day I think with a 50$ deposit.

Guys new to the hobby but have been in the IT field for about 10+ years. Couple of things static will work if you set it out of the DHCP range but remember almost all devices will revert back to DHCP in any type of configuration conflict, i.e. power outage, firmware update etc.. Much better idea is most routers will let you reserve the IP address, basically you log in to your router and usually the page that shows the devices that are on the network is a option to reserve or automatically assign addresses according to their mac address this will work out much better for your. Secondly most ISP's don't actively block any ports or very few at the most, however your router or your firewall will always block almost every port so you have to use port forwarding on your router to make it work. If anyone has any specific questions send me a pm and I will help out as I can.
