    Hi folks,

    Very good coverage. I actually cut my PCing teeth with it. Bought it from SMOKE, and wasn't thinking about the learning curve. In this case what learning curve. Smash test was hard to see if it flaked ,or chipped off ,but under loupe magnification never once has it failed. It is basically my stand alone PC now.
