On a side note it makes me sad that Petra is no longer running the shop and I can no longer purchase WC supplies from him. Thank you Petra for all you have given to the watercooling community.
So the store in San Jose is closed?
Yes. Most things are all out of stock on his website now and what is left should now be shipping from Sidewinders IIRC.
Sidewinders is getting their Yates from him though.
I'm gonna miss my hand signed thank you notes. That was a seriously good gesture on Alex's part and I would like to see SW adopt that measure, just to see something of Petras stay alive. I've never had an issue SW that wasnt resolved very quickly and without stress so I'm glad that a place I can trust is now taking over.
As for the bad mojo post, well I can understand being irate with a long running issue. But there really is no need to air it in a friendly, public forum that way unless there is no other option. From my dealings with Petras, I just cant imagine that you are at that point.
damn, almost all of my WC gear is from Petra's, such a shame :(
I emailed Quoc several times over the course of this spring-no responses. I was never told to contact Gary until now by PM.
It's true-I'm not exactly patient in this situation. I'm sorry not to have known Petra and his shop in its heyday which obviously all of you respect a great deal-this was my first and only purchase.
Truth be told, out of what i had ordered...I'd settle for some "Gel Stuff".
Hmmm I don't know if Quoc was checking the email this spring or not, since at that point Petra's was in Sidewinder's hands :shrug:Quote:
