Kudos to Petra

[Shpoon]

Was going to PM, but decided that a post was in order.

Petra...you are on the ball.

I look at your products, and realize that half of what we want here get's carried at your shop.

IE - Pentosin G11, Yates SM, etc.

Kudos.

P.S. Can we work out a shipping plan to Canada?

They were quick to order my Swiftech NB heatsink! So I threw in 10 feet of extra masterkleer, and some gel for my pump.

[berknip]

Definite THUMBS UP for Petra.

does petra ship to norway? got an link?

Alex is Da Bomb!.....:woot: :toast: :banana: :clap: :D :) :p:

[tommrussell]

i've been petra'ed as well the clincher was a hand written note from Quoc

[Xavior]

http://petrastechshop.com/contact.html

Petra's Tech Shop does accept international orders. Just contact Quoc Ngo (First email) and let him know what you want. Paypal probably works best and make sure your account is verified. I got my package from PTS 2 weeks ago, I'm located in the Netherlands.

[phelan1777]

:clap: gotta give my shout out for Petra:toast:

[eXa]

sound good. bookmarked!

[xXxDieselxXx]

Petra Rocks..! :woot:

[Vice]

Petras is a great shop. Got all my wc stuff there.

Just one thing...

they dont carry any ddc+ w/ plexi top mod's =/

its a pretty popular pump... me thinks alex needs to get on that

[syne_24]

going to have to stop by there for my wc setup coming up. It's like 5 mins away lol.

[ferrari_freak]

Yeah, they have everything. But they do need to get on the DDC plus mods and some of the better/newer rads.

Usama aka Ferrari Freak

[party animal]

i agree, wish they had some DDC+ pumps and the radiical/alphacool tops. But they have some great things in stock!

Yea, I have ordered from them a couple of times already, just email Quoc for what you need, and paypal for the payment. I've been using USPS Global Express from them, thats $24USD up to 6lbs, and shipping time is around 3 business days from Petra to Toronto. Great service IMO. :)

[septim]

its like the only thing lacking is the ddc+ pumps and accesories

everything else is conveniently located in one shop at competitive prices at that

[InTheFlow]

I ordered a fillport from them and was pleased with the product/service/shipping etc. Will order from them again.

[creidiki]

Yates SM
I only just noticed he'd started stocking them - good stuff :)

[xforce]

Good comments there, fellas.

Maybe i'll try to buy some stuff from them to give it a try.

:D

[sephiroth8748]

Since January, I've been doing all my water-cooling shopping at Petras. I live about 20 mins from there so I just drive down there and avoid shipping. They got great prices and they are constantly adding new stuff to their inventory. :)

[SaFrOuT]

Petra really rocks

and i am sure they can ship to anywhere cause they agreed to ship to Egypt :)

[coyotetu]

Yeah, I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Petras, they give a level of personal consumer-relations that I've never seen before, when I opened that box and saw that hand written note, I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

[Demo]

Im also interested in getting watercooling stuff there very soon!
does he pre clean the rads b4 shipping ?

[SaFrOuT]

NO one does this at all

[shadowing]

You know... I think he left a section in his watercooling guide stating how to clean it...

you should clean your own rads and blocks, as you'll be doing this every few months on your own...

Vinegar my friend, its not just for salad dressing.

[Demo]

Yeah i've read some portions of the watercooling guide in regards on how to clean it.
No need to bash me(5 times ) for that =(

also whats the difference between the masterkleer and tygon, price difference is quite high.

[eXa]

Vinegar my friend, its not just for salad dressing.

ive never used vinegar before i needed to clean my rad. cant belive why u want to put something that smell that bad in food! man we clean copper with it. nuff said!

[creidiki]

Good vinegar rules, and not just for salads or cleaning :)

You can also do a lot of ther interesting stuff w. food. For example, you can poison people with parsley, apple seeds, and other foods you wouldnt think of... coca cola will eath through metal like a hot knife through butter... nutmeg is a powerful psychotropic - and so is sugar, incidentally (the british army used to have very strict rules about how much sugar a soldier was allowed)... pure caffeine causes a shutdown of the nervous system followed by death... citrus acid is used to clean thermal interface materials...

I could go on but I'm too lazy ^_^

lol, you can count me in on the "Thumbs up to petra!"

I Have only good stuff to say about him!

One con though: he runs out of stock REALLY quickly [One day he can have a full stop of pumps, the other day their ALL shipped away already and you're left to wait for the next stock XD ]

I myself already prepared the order and passed it to him, awaiting for all parts to come back to stock to be shipped to me heh.

-Jo.

[Got Chow]

I haven't purchased from him yet but I have PM'd with Alex over a number of things. He will definitely get my business, and I can drive 30 minutes to pick up as well. :)

:rofl:

[Petra]

Wow, thanks everybody! :D

While I'm here... a few quick notes:

The DDC pumps and tops: We do have a few DDC+'s in the warehouse that I'm mainly using for testing purposes. We'll be adding them to the site (and obtaining more) once the first run of our own DDC tops has been completed (may be a little while as I still need to have prototypes made).

New stuff to watch for:
- Pentosin G11 (blue) in 4oz bottles
- Pentosin G12 (red) in 2oz and 4oz bottles
- AM2 mounting brackets for existing MP-05's
- AM2-compatible MP-05's (Pro, Pro LE, and SP LE)
- Other stuff that's not coming to mind at the moment... :rolleyes:

Issues with the AquaXtreme 50Z Pump: Apparently, a majority of our last shipment of 50Z's had the molex pins wired improperly by the manufacturer and, as a result, they try to draw from the PSU's 5V rail. If you received a 50Z from us which does not start, check to make sure that the RED wire from the pump is connecting to the YELLOW (+12V) wire coming from your PSU. If it's not, then you should remove the pin/wire from the pump's molex connector and move it to the appropriate position. Once this is done, everything should be fine. I've already gone through and fixed all of the 50Z's which we have remaining in inventory.

[phelan1777]

That red Pentosin looks appealing! it would totally clash with my case color scheme.

Hey Petra, you don't want to buy a new RD-30, and Meanwell s150-24 PSU off of my, in place of two DDC's and their tops? :D

[creidiki]

Which is what you want, we wouldnt want a blinged PC with a colour scheme thats not abhorrent to the eye, after all.

[SaFrOuT]

will this Pentosin be able to stop Algae growth ???

[creidiki]

Uh.. yes?

Even a few drops of iodine will do that...

[Grinch]

:clap: :toast: :woot:

[clokker]

I even got a very nice pen included in my last order.
Petra's, Radiical and DangerDen top my list for personalized service.
Performance-pcs is great as well, very fast turnaround on orders.

Hey i was the one with the Blood for coolant thread remember how much attention that got MUHAHAHAHA

Thanks for all the information

As for the Tubbing, any significat difference from masterkleer / tygon brand

[septim]

definitely cheaper...

[InTheFlow]

I have masterkleer and am very happy with it.

[phelan1777]

I have masterkleer was well.

[SaFrOuT]

me too and very pleased with its performance and look and for sure the price

[Marci]

He just needs some more pressure from his customers to switch to ThermoChill rads... especially after the release of performance figures over the past few days, then he truly will be stocking the best of the best in every aspect ;)

[Demo]

So currently the Thermochill rads beat all the other rads out there?

[Marci]

See link in my sig...

[Demo]

See link in my sig...

I see, those are good performance numbers based on what i understand.
Your post also stated that the 120.3 scales down accordingly from 120.2 and the 120.1 so if the 120.3 has about 6% flow restriction the 120.2 has about 3% ? but cooling power on the liquid is reduced also.

[Marci]

No... altho size changes, the figure doesn't. The PA120.1 would still offer 6% flow restriction comparatively to the other rads afaik... as would the 120.2. Radiical has been sent a 120.2 to test and compare with his 120.3 results, which should hopefully confirm this.

Same goes for the rest... so a BI GT120 would still pose a 17% flow restriction (roughly)

[Demo]

@Marci

ok got that.

say basin on your system config how much temp difference would it be by using the 120.1 and 120.2 from the 120.3 ?

My CPU case is quite small ( coolermaster Praetorian 720 ) and i dont think i can fit a 120.2 inside my case but if the performance gap of the 120.1 and 120.2 is acceptable then il go with the 120.2 and mount it extrenally instead.

You got that right, after handling and checking out ThermoChill Rads ALL others look like toys!!! :fact:

It amazes me that people will spend such big bucks on their computer setups and then get cheap on the rad? :nono: :slapass: :slap:

[CRXican]

I guess I'll add my props too. Two orders from Petra, pretty small dollar amounts but they got them just right each time and even wrote me a note the second time.

The best part is they're so close to me :)

[rhkenji]

I like petra's shop and the pricing of the products.

I had some minor problems on my ordering though..

1st Order - Pump not working. Had to RMA. (wire was on the wrong side of the molex connector)
2nd Order - mp-01 gpu block with wrong barbs..

nothing serious though.. and would still recommend petra's. My water cooling has been delayed for a week now and still counting.. I hope that those replacement barbs come soon... They said that there was some shipping mistake from the manufacturer.. so its not their fault. but still, im a little pissed off because of the delay of my parts.

so far my kit is complete.. only missing is the 1/2' replacement barbs. so until they send me that part.. i wont be able to start my water cooling project.

kit:
http://rhkenji.com/wordpress/?p=9

from the looks of those things.. it doesnt cost much. but so far ive actually have spent around $380 on those stuff (including taxes and shipping)

I sure hope i dont get that kind of delivery mistakes.. i live far off from petra and i would be asking my relatives to bring the WC stuff for me.

Petra is on the west coast, I am on the east coast, really can't get much farther apart and still be on the same continent and I got my stuff in less then a week, and in ood condition.


Alot of people don't have a full understand of how rough UPS/FEDEX/USPS treat packages. But the e-tailer gets the blunt of the blame unfortunately.

[MaXThReAT]

Indeed Petra's is the best. I placed my first order last week. Everything arrived perfect, plus I got a free pen and a hand written note as well. I had to go right on to reseller rating and give them 110%. Great selection and prices. Petra ROCKS \m/.

I live in the philippines and international shipping here is insanely expensive... I think i'll be getting my WC kit from petra also but not yet soon as ive still got some line of upgrade to do b4 i go with water, but ive already decided to get WC

[InTheFlow]

Just placed my 2nd order with them last night.

IMO, a great way to judge an e-tailer is by how many of thier customers re-order from them.

[septim]

Demo, i am from tondo manila...
i also got my order from them via myUsmailbox.com... you might want to try them out
Also worth mentioning is that they only accept paypal payments or wire transfer...

Petra, i do hope international credit card payments become acceptable, its hard for us because paypal doesn't cater to philippine users...

I just stop by this place to pick up my first watercooling materials. It was a very nice experience talking to Quoc and seeing the shop. I will definitely come back here for future business. :)

[Ron 61]

Just received my order from Petra's today and was very pleased. Same day shipping, excellent packing, hand written note and free pen. Petra's is the first place I will look for watercolling parts from now on.

[dietwaterrr]

any guess on how much the ddc will cost with the top?

[septim]

better alot $150 for it, included pump and top with shipping expense...

[Petra]

Okay, well, I got the 4oz. bottles of Pentosin G11 and G12 posted... Interestingly, the Pentosin G12 (which is sold in the automotive market as being Red Pentosin) is very much a purple-ish pink color. The good news, however, is that it is very UV reactive :) (I'll add UV photos to the store's website once I get a chance to take photos late at night here).

As for the cost of the pump tops, that's something that I really don't know quite yet as I haven't gotten a quote for the prototypes. I'll keep you guys updated on how things are going, though.

Again, it may be a little while before we begin stocking Thermochill radiators... At this point it's mainly due to financial limitations (we've managed to do a heck of a lot of inventory expansion since January and it takes quite a bit of juggling to pull it off successfully) and the fact that we aren't really thrilled about getting things from Danger Den due to their wonderful reseller pricing structure (note the sarcasm there... heh :rolleyes: ). Nevertheless, we will have them at some point in the near future.

syne_24: Sorry we didn't really get a chance to chat (I was out taking care of a few things and walked in just as you were leaving) but I'm glad that you and Quoc had an opportunity to talk for a while--he's a nice guy.

[phelan1777]

Yes but also raises risk of fraud as well.

[InSanCen]

Yes but also raises risk of fraud as well.

QFT

Most SMB's (Small/Medium Businesses), are going to be wary about international CC Fraud. 90% of their Fraud is of the "Card Not Present" type. I can see why they do it.

It may be an inconvience, but would you want them to go out of business, hence you losing what appears to be a great shop, due to Fraud (Yes, it's that big of a problem)?

[Demo]

Maybe he can put a policy for international buyers that the money form the card must be transfred to his store account b4 he ships them out. or that wont be possble ?

[septim]

raises the risk of fraud...
well i would think that most business has the risk of fraud,

but of course there are still ways to check credit card validity
and the conveinience to us international buyers would be nice

Only two days ago I had a customer drive down from Edinburgh to visit me... :P
Heh - if you time it right, I'm up by you at least once per year... http://www.mmra.org.uk/circuits/Racelands.php - but you've missed me this year...

[septim]

checking for credit card validity like what cooltechnica does:
1. process my order, send me email confirming this...
2. send me another email: order on hold, reason international credit card
need to check validity like what is stated in their policy
3. so ask me to wait and confirm what they send to my credit card, 10 banking days on my end, confirmed charge of $26.5 from cooltech
4. emailed cooltechnica confirming receipt of credit charges, order back on track
5. got another email from cooltechnica saying 1 of my items was back ordered, so have to wait till this week again...

[InTheFlow]

As for the cost of the pump tops, that's something that I really don't know quite yet as I haven't gotten a quote for the prototypes.

Will you share with us perhaps the direction that your prototype is going? For example, will it be more like the Radical tops, the alphacool tops or something totally different? :D

Well, that's an interesting idea... though it really isn't proving much of anything unless they either don't tell you the total beforehand or they tack on some small, arbitrary amount which you then confirm (a-la PayPal account verification). Something to consider, though.

Will you share with us perhaps the direction that your prototype is going? For example, will it be more like the Radical tops, the alphacool tops or something totally different?
Externally, the design more resembles the Radiical top in that it should fit with the pump (rather than increasing the length and width of the pump like the Alphacool top does) and it only has one inlet and one outlet (no confusion--top inlet only). That, however, is where the similarities to the Radiical top stop. Internally, I'm trying to keep as many design features as I can (within reason) from the stock Delphi top but the first prototype will employ a 10mm ID inlet channel (same ID as a 1/2" barbed G1/4" thread fitting). I'll likely go through at least two different prototypes, playing around with the inlet and outlet channels to find the best balance between head pressure loss and flowrate increase. I'll post some screenshots once I'm closer to prototyping.

[phelan1777]

The petra here is the same petra on that site right ?

Looking forward to it. I don't have one of those pumps yet and will prob just wait until you get the tops done to buy one. Perhaps you'll have a special price for buying the pump and your top together at the same time? :D

lol coz i gave him a message and never got a reply =D

[Petra]

Perhaps you'll have a special price for buying the pump and your top together at the same time? :D
That's the idea... :D

AFAIK, I received 2 PM's from you in the late evening on 7/31 and you should have received my replies on 8/2 (sorry for the delay, I was rather busy).

How long until the pumps are ready? I need a DDC Ultra with top really soon, and performance-pcs are out of stock, I'd have to buy the top from them, and the pump from dtek :slapass:

It'll likely be a few weeks before I have prototypes to work with... so, yeah, hopefully I'll have something for you guys by the end of the month :sofa:

A'ight, I ordered some things today from you guys, without realizing I had ISF in paypal, so it's an echeck order :rolleyes: 8 days till it clears.

Edit: I'm speechless....received a kind email today saying that Petra/Alex had notified (shipping? sales? a freind?) that I belonged to XS (apparently this means we're trustworthy :p), and my order is shipping before the payment clears...

If that's not service and customer care, I don't know what the hell is.

If anyone ever asks where to get something that I know you have in stock, petrastechshop.com is going to be the first place I suggest...

(Did I tell you I'm now going to be an advertising whore? :p)

Edit: Due to some unforseen problems arising from my earlier statement, I retract my opinion of XS members being trustworthy, on the basis of death threats and danger to my family. I now present my opinion omitting one; creidiki.

[creidiki]

apparently this means we're trustworthy :p
I resent the implication that I'm trustworthy, this is nothing more that foul libel, and I herethofore deman that you take back this accusation right now :p:

something similar to urs happened to me also when dealing with PEtra, that is why the link in my sig ;)

[berknip]

...can't let this get too far off the first page. I just received a call to verify my shipping address (I fat fingered the zip code) and in the process was supplied alternative shipping options to lower the overall cost!

Rock on!

Hmm I might have to sigafi Petra's site as I have found myself suggesting it to others.

[septim]

yah same here...

[coyotetu]

sorry if I'm being a bit of a bugger or expecting too much, just wondering, Petra, if you'd know when you might be getting some MP-05 SP LE's, Swiftech SmartCoils 625 and 7/16" ID 5/8" OD Tygon R-3603 in stock?

Thanks in any case, great site you got there.

[qwerty69]

Paid on 11th Aug, Received on 14th Aug. And that's from US to Singapore. I did paid for courier(3-4 days delivery) but Quoc shipping it out on same day of payment really helps. Many thanks again! :D

Edit : You guys need to stock more items so i can give you more business ;)

[SaFrOuT]

how did u pay them ??

[qwerty69]

how did u pay them ??

Paypal

[septim]

well at least you have paypal, me have to ask someone else to buy for me, of course i'll pay them...

[qwerty69]

hmm you tried asking them if they accept western union or wire transfer? These cost a little more but should be the best alternatives.

AquaXtreme products are on order... We've finally received shipping confirmantion, so those should be here within a week or so (with AM2 mounting brackets). More Storms and SmartCoils arrived this morning... and the 7/16"ID R-3603 is on order (usually takes a couple weeks since it's a special order item).

[nealh]

[Walternowi]

Alex and Quoc,

You guys rock. I ordered from your shop twice this month, and shipping was fast both times. Quoc even included a souvenir pen in my first one. Will definitely purchase from you guys in the future.

:toast:

[situman]

These guys rock. I ordered an Aquaextreme GPU waterblock and one of the barbs seems to be not sealing correctly. No matter how much I tighten the clamps, water leaks out. These GUYS went out of their ways to try to accommodate me.

May I suggest some watercooling accessories like hose clamps to stop all the water from coming out when someone wants to change waterblocks without refilling and bleeding? Also, some inline filters would be nice. Performance-PCS offers an inline filter, but its so freakn restrictive that dual DDC+ running serial could not force water thru that thing.

Girls? Okay, now I'm confused... :rolleyes:

Self-sealing quick-connect couplings (http://colder.com/asp_main/NonSpillProducts.asp). Yeah, I've thought about carrying those but they're rather expensive and can be pretty restrictive as well.

[SlicerSV]

Quoc rules, Alex doesn't! ;)

They didn't even bill me until they had the UPS delivery confirmation. that's awesome! And yeah, Quoc gave me a hand-written note and free pen.

[Pied]

[aiya]

i got a free pen too on my second order from them. ordered some Pentosin G11 for my upcoming watercooling setup. also got a handwritten note from Quoc himself about the pen, very unexpected. you the man, Quoc!

[septim]

dang no pen for me, maybe next time i'll ask quoc to hide it somewhere in my order to keep it safe...

[epion2985]

Petra is the best. Very fast shipping, great inventory. Why shop anywhere else?

:up:

[kemist]

Haha just ordered a couple gel stuffs from petra and they called to change to cheaper shipping. Petra's rocks! :toast:

[phelan1777]

now I have to order from them to get a free pen.

I am debating getting pentosin.

[smopoim86]

Yeah, they have everything. But they do need to get on the DDC plus mods and some of the better/newer rads.

Usama aka Ferrari Freak
I'm pretty sure that he's workin on that..... Making his own top.

There's a thread with it in it somewhere

[tommrussell]

[Shpoon]

Customs stole it.


Are you serious? You're 100% sure you shipped it in there? 100%?

What tit-heads....honestly, I should call and complain...and have you confirm you sent it...stealing items...that's sad...

[septim]

must have borrowed it to check on your items, then forgot to put it back thinking it was his pen...

[nop]

wait wait hold on guys. You got a free pen ?

Never got any pen for my last 3 orders :stick: :stick:

[party animal]

Well, i picked up my items personally :p: maybe thats why. But usually people get a pen. I use the pen for school and its been great. haha. :)

[coyotetu]

I broke my pen, by clicking it about 3 thousand times in a few hours :(

[Petra]

wait wait hold on guys. You got a free pen ?

[Makubex_GB]

[septim]

mine was a little to big a package, wished he could have chopped it smaller to save me some on airfreight dimensional weight charges...

[qdemn7]

Alex sent me some free mouse tape with my small order. Problem was I didn't find the note about the tape until I had thrown out all the styrofoam peanuts and the mouse tape with it. :cussing: :brick:

[SaFrOuT]

LOL

that is very bad

i don't think that is any online shop with such fame and fans :)

[Istasi]

All I've ordered from Petra is a few Yates and a Sunbeam Rheobus, but their service was prompt and easy to deal with.

Great work!

[vudoodoodoo]

I ordered Pentosin and got it in 2 days! Amazing since they're in cali and i'm in MA. I got a pen. ;)

[SaFrOuT]

Thanks Petra and Quoc for the service
