how would it be breaking the law, youd have to buy all 3 anyways, and then take them apart and put into one as long as you dont sell it..

[garlandowl08]

yeah, its the selling it thats illegal
plus you lose your warranty when you take it apart...

i just looked and i moved up 8 spots just tonight in the post counts rankings
