Hi (again),
As I stated in my previous reply to your response, I have not found the 3 x MM120FGV2 grills and would appreciate them being sent out.
I have assembled the swivel legs and one (1) nut for the leg screws is also missing. Could you please send one out with the grills.
I have also attached a couple of photographs of the front of the case. You can clearly see that the front bezel of each drive bay is badly scratched.
To me this is unacceptable as I have paid a premium price for a premium product which at the moment is not meeting its high quality image and name.
As such I would like replacement bays for each of the badly scratched drive bays. I will return the scratched drive bays if you want me to.
Please contact me via email with any queries re this.
I am also posting my U2-UFO build on forums which are being viewed by Australian rig builders. The U2-UFO is a fantastic case which is largely unavailable in Australia due to postage costs. I'm sure that a positive reply from Mountain Mods re these issues will show that a lot of money can be spent with confidence.
Yours Sincerely,
Geoff Pipprell.
No response as of yet.
I went to Australia before and wow, you guys would love being in America :p: seriously stuff there is ridiculously expensive.Quote:

Pulled the case apart today, cleaned it, then polished Zymol Titanium polish to every painted surface.
This will protect the paint work and make it super slippery which helps prevent finger prints, easier to clean, etc. Gives it a deeper gloss as well.
My son helping outhttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/18s.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/19s.jpgCase tophttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/11s.jpg

All finishedhttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/15s.jpgCase top againhttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/16s.jpg
I tried using the polish on the scratched front bezels of the drive bays with no luck, scratching is still very apparent.
It was interesting running my hand over the unpolished drive bays, and then over the polished surfaces. Almost like sand paper to baby oil in smoothness :p: The pictures don't do the polish justice..
Fit Zalman fan controller behind drive bay cover.
First, pull front cover and dials off fan controller..
Bracket offhttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o.../CUBEIT/8s.jpgThis won't hurthttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o.../CUBEIT/9s.jpgSee, I told uhttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...CUBEIT/10s.jpg

Thanks.

Sparky,
The game is more of a sim than a game. Its learning curve is very steep, even for flight sim standards. Once you get going, its incredibly fun. The enemy is well skilled and even the average difficulty levels are challenging. The sim is designed primarily by Russians, so you get a whole lot of Ruskie aircraft. That was one of the common complains in America.. not enough Nato aircraft, but I think part of the fun is learning the incredible capabilities of a MIG29 or a SU27. YOu do get to fly F15s and F16s, but the game really emphasizes Ruskie aircraft. Having said that, I really enjoy flying the A-10 :)
Its sold for about $15 now. You can find it at EB.
Do you remember the nightmare of a game called "Back to Baghdad?" It took me two days of reading just to taxi and take off :)

I bought it from PROTECH Car Care in Melbourne, Australia.Quote:

It is the best polish I have ever used. The Titanium is a bit expensive, but man, do they have some over the top stuff that is way better ---> with a way better price I might add :eek:
ABSOLUTELY!!! :toast: Got it the day it was released in Oz.Quote:

Did MM take care of the scratched pieces? I want to get one of those cases, but i'll be really upset if I pay $350+ for a case that is all scratched to hell.
No, not yet.Quote:

It actually shows that the quality checking process is lacking if this got through.
I will update this thread with Mountain Mods response.
LOL. Thought u dug up my past gaming history. hehe
