Oh yea, i decided on the DFI UT P35 T2R and pd 915 for my first DICE runs. I should start prepping them sometime tonight. It won't get me boatloads of points at the bot, but i feel it will give me good experience, and more confidence for using DICE on newer and more expensive parts.
@Nate: You have the same thermocouple thermometer as me. Did you ever calibrate it?
