Ok I posted on the general forums and got alot of mixed reactions and nothing really solid, some help but not as much as I was looking for so I figured I would post here and see what I can get as far as advice.

ICD 2004 B2k w/PDS
Dye Throttle 71ci/4500
Dye Rhino Cover
Dye Invision or JT Proflex 2005 (leaning towards JT cause I have a big head lol)
Odysseye Halo B w/Rip Drive
Psycho Ballistics Bullet Drop forward with on/off ASA

Future Upgrades:
CP Grip Regulator
Dye Ti Boomstick
VaporWorks Chaos Board
VaporWorks Vapor Valve
VaporWorks Vapor Bolt

Most of this stuff was decided upon based on hours of reading reviews at pbreview.com and reading stuff on various other sites. Also my budget while not overly small, is not nearly unlimited. I want to use this marker this year for just rec play than hopefully through my playing this year will be able to hook up with a team and play some tournies next year. I realize someone may say wait for the 2005 but I am looking at this 2004 for 299 and the 2005 are reported to be about 500 which for me will mean taking from somewhere else. So please comment and suggest I always like reading suggestions than researching them.

Thank you

yeah seems pretty nice, kinda what im tryin to get. except im have a pure energy tank instaed of dye cause of "things" ive heard about the throttle. in stead of the boomstick, id get a mac dev match sick 5 piece kit, or if you have the money the 7 piece kit. good luck with it when you get it :D and when you get it you should tinker with the trigger a bit, those things can rip when adjusted right ;) , and they have 4 POINT TRIGGER ADJUSTABILITY :o :o :o

ok, after all of the advice and research humanly possible over the last few days I have come up with another setup for the new marker I want to buy. Yes I would like to get it now but I also want to be happy with what I buy. So let me know you think.

ICD 2004 B2k w/PDS Red to Black Fade
Crossfire 68ci/3000 HP tank
Odyssey Halo B w/Rip Drive
2005 Dye Rhino Cover
Empire mini Rail Drop
CP Dovetail ASA - not sure if this will work with the rail drop if you know please let me know, I appreciate it. I am pretty sure it is.
2005 JT Proflex

All of the above is about a total of 700 bucks before shipping.

Future upgrades:
New Barrel (not sure which originally decided on a Ti-Boomstick but will have to research more)
VaporWorks Vapor Valve
VaporWorks Vapor Bolt
VaporWorks Chaos Board
CP Grip Regulator
also maybe a different LPR will have to research to see

Let me know what you think if you saw my original post you know I made changes based on alot of recommendations from not only here but also from www.icd-owners.com thanks for looking and for the advice.

tey're both good, but u won't get as many shots out of a 3000psi tank as a 4500 tank, but its all preference. for a barrel id go with the match stik 5 piece kit. :D
