OK i received my mach 2 GT today.

the parcels are delivered in the reception of this uni accomodation i live...

theres a new stupid guy working there and hes done it again.

i went to pick up my mach 2 GT and found it sidding on its side...i dont know for how long

i took the piss out of the guy asking him who has left it like this when there are 4 big arrows pointing "this way up" in the box...he didnt replya at all....

How long should i wait till i power up the unit sitting as it should be for now?

30 mins?

thanks

just leave it for around 15 mins it should fine, chill mate, i've seen prommies in worse shapes than that :D

in one instances the compressor wobbled inside the casing and dented the lian li side panels !

last time my brother was moving a fridge back in greece for a 45min drive distance with the fridge not standing upwards the frifge died...after it was powered up even though it took them like 15mins till they powered it up...

dont wanna happen in my "fridge" either even though those fridges have the oil radiator way way up... :p

well it has costed me a lot...not just money.

i did my MSc in Mechanical Engineering last year.

this year i was meant to do my MBS..Masters in Bussiness Studies...

i started working in a bar last year...and really got into it...i am a supervisor now so u get a bit better money and a lot more hours...= £££

so i started buying more expensive toys...that means less time and effor with your uni work...

so i dropped the MBS :rolleyes: ,since i was working too many hours too...+ i couldnt be arsed to do something non engineering...

so nothing that someone can be proud of , is it?

let me just add that my GF after being single for 5 years in the UK :eek: (i aint british either so no friends-clubbing etc ;)) has contributed in that a bit as well...not that its her fault..but u know...even less time to focus and study

This combination really sucks..women...PCS with Internet connection->XSystems...work...lazy will all drive you mad :D

Well after 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of grad school and 5 years of post graduate studies the way I look at it, its time to treat myself for all the years of deprivation. Congrats on your new GT.
