Everything I did was around $250.

Well thanks for the info. I've seen a lot of guys do this mod, just never looked into it much. I'm familiar with the affects of temp on bearing, I usually just temp surf mine but it does get old always playing the game with the light. I also roast my own coffee which is really rewarding. It would be nice to have the pid for good temp controll. I may go on and do this now that the warranty is out on my machine.
