No, REI does not sell speedloaders. However I would like to confirm the earlier post that Fred Meyer does indeed have them for 7.99 within the last week.

Try rhino. Here.
There also is the Alibre Design Suite that they were giving away for free a while ago, I'm not too sure if you can still get it for free though.

I actually do, but I don't really have anything to add to the community at this point from a nerf standpoint. I have an AT3k that is modded, but thats not really anything thats worth posting. I've got a homemade idea on the drawing board right now, but I haven't got all of the materials assembled yet, and I don't think that posting drawings would be that constructive seeing as how the ideas that get posted here never get built, with the notable exception of your guns. So right now the only thing that I feel like I have adequate experience in to provide input on is this thread. No offense taken by your question, its perfectly warranted given the dataset.

What do you mean by good advice? If you mean directions then here is a very good one Directions. The site is older so the hardware might be a little archaic, but the principles are still good. I believe I posted a hardware selection in your other thread, anything along those lines should be adequate. I've got some other resources that I can't find right now, feel free to PM me if the one above doesn't work out for you.

I did some research about diskless nodes about 2 months ago. I was not going to use them for F@H, but for textual data processing, but they will work well for F@H. The idea behind them is that you have essentially just mobo's and CPU's sitting behind a main server that gives them all assignments, in this case work units. The server is just any box with a fast ethernet port. You have the nodes boot off of the lan, with the server set up to network boot each one to a barebones linux system running F@H. When they complete they send the unit to the server which sends it to the F@H servers.

Here is what I was I had as a diskless node's hardware(Prices as of 2 months ago, newegg.com)
Athlon XP 2600+ 79.99
Asus A7V600-X 58.00
Zonet Zen3300E 10/100/1000 12.50
Wintec Ampo DDR400 512mb 39.99
Spire 5F271B1L3 9.99

Total: 200.47

I think that diskless nodes might be your cheapest option, and there may be a new deal on newegg for a better proccessor, I haven't checked lately.

Hope this helps,
