Thanks for clearing up a few aspects that I wouldnt've thought of guys.
But I worded that comment a bit weirdly, haha. I was referring to checking the temps with a heat pad before buying a thermostat (my comment made it seem like I was referring to racks with multiple snakes). I know the heat cable in racks are connected in parallel, so in theory all levels should get the same voltage (so each level is kind of like a heat pad?). I just thought it would be better to check the temps before spending R500 on a thermostat that only connects to one or two heat pads, which might not be practical for people who have bigger collections. I may just be rambling on, but I do get it now, it'll probably be wiser to play it safe, and as Westley said, rather not risk it for R500.
Roland, I might actually try that, it seems like it could work for me. Will look into picking up a thermostat at the upcoming expo.
