What!?  Not build it?  I thought it was illegal or somethin' to operate a 
K2 without building it first.  After all, I heard they WERE rocket 
scientists.  I know my rig did not hear beans while in the sack o' parts 
state. But I suppose you're right <sigh>... Just think of doing the parts 
inventory without gravity to hold things in the ice cube tray. Although it 
could possibly be an advantage when trying to secure the P.A. heat sink.

Tongue was firmly implanted in cheek for my original comment.
