Smile My DIY Reactor Project

I finally went and built my reacor today. I just wanted to show it to everyone and list some prices for people to see how cheap this thing was to build. I work at lowes, where i found everything i needed. So ill include a list if prices in order from top left to right in the first pic as follows:

1 - 2"x2' PVC SCH40 pipe part # 256099 ($2.28)
1 - pipe tread deal tape part # 25010 ($.87)
2 - 1/2 inch ball valves part #21481 ($2.28 ea. just an extra expenditure)
1 - 1/2" male NXP X barb elbow part # 194589 ($.30)
1 - 1/2 MNPT barb adaptor part # 194539 ($.39)
1 - 1/2" riser adapter X 1/4"B ML part # 234223 ($2.37) (has c02 barb)
1 - 1/2"x6" cutoff riser part # 23008 ($.24)
2 - 2"sch40 cupling part # 23902 ($2.66)
2 - 2" x 1/2 sch40 Bushing part # 51013 ($1.57 ea.)
TOTAL=15.81 with shut-offs
11.25 w/out shut-offs

The coolest thing is the 1/2 valve adapter that has the barb for the c02 molded into it, i was very surprised and happy to have found this! Now for the pics.......i decided to paint it green that i had laying around, what do you all think?
