This is off topic, but how much is 200 euro is us currency. I think your best bet is to order off line.

i know sjog thats why i went to the place yesterday got the stuff went home and built it in a couple of hours...its fairly big, the chamber is 4 foot long and 2" diameter and the barrel about 5 1/2 feet long 1.5" diameter...although i did use a 1.25" ball valve (i didnt bother trying that hard to look for a solenoid valve...next time)

but for my first tis ok..gotta test it later(im leaving it for 24 hours to set) 'll be posting it soon.

oh ps im 20 sjog...not exactly a boy
