    push start and multiport efi

    Digital camera recommendation time:) $300 dollars to spend!

    Eh deosn't the a520 use SD? Most of the new small P&S cams use SD now. My dad just bought a Panasonic LZ2, which he likes, though it'd be much nicer if it came with a recharable battery.

    You are planning on using fans to move the oil?!? I'd expect any fan to die quickly if you try to operate it in oil. Why don't you use a pump?
