BTW Capt how is it ? :)
We have another unit to ship tomorrow! And. . . .it has a working G-Froster XE!!! We shielded the main unit and have gotten one unit to work. We'll have one more single stage built tomorrow plus my unit before I say adios to come back east for a bit.
Anyway here's some pics:
It great at first my opteron 170 seemed to like it then last night it started to act weird and corrupted my windows install so hopefully i can repair it. It pisses me off becuase i didnt want to burn an image of my windows install because it would have taken to many dvd's godamn i hate myself now. I really think that it is too cold for the memory controller on my chip but it will boot everytime it just takes like 3-5 minutes to get into windows and then it takes like 3-5 minutes before i can use internet explorer and this was even at stock speeds. Does anyone know where i can buy one of those plates to put between my cpu and head of the phase to knocks temps down a little bit? There starting to get out units more frequently now so im sure you will get yours soon. It just amazed me how patient you have been through out the whole process. I will post up some sexy pics of my sad face to what i have done to my computer in less than 24 Hours of having this CURSED DEMON!Quote:

Philly, any word on my unit?
We won't get to the repairs until we're finished building the partially completed units. I looked at your unit last night at Chilly's shop. We are working out of Chilly's house so we don't have the room to have more than 4 or 5 units in the room at any given time. We'll go get some of the units to be repaired by Sunday or Monday. Yours will be one of the first worked on.Quote:

Still some issues with the controllers, The ones I have now have been sent back for repairs and returned they will work most of the time but cannot handle the starting currents of any compressor larger than 1/4 hp 115V so I am using apilot relay, the shielding seems to helpa little but we stillget intermittant scrambled displays, I have heard the new controllers are working better, I amgoing to send back 20controllers and I hope these willget swapped with the newer ones, I also never recieved all the displays for them, Runmc has a few he is sending to me so I have 5 blue ones to finish the units I got. The green displays sent do not work in the application and the units Thet got diverted to Jin had no displays, I am trying to get to figure out where teh displays are and maybe get a few shipped here.
Builds are going well I got four more up I need to work in town for a week or so to get caught up and to get cash to cover expenses, I will be selling parts again in a few weeks if all goes as planned, Finilizing the site and pricing now...
I need to get some cash flow to finish everything the work in town is slow in the winter...
Glad to see an update! Too bad about those damned controllers, those things just seem to be a never-ending PITA.
Pop up some pix when u get a chance :)
According to Philly Boy, my unit was packed yesterday and will be shipped sometime today. Waiting on a tracking number...
There is boxed two units at my office being shipped. They will leave today but I dont have labels completed yet.
Here are pics of the two units for Freez and Anthezium. There is also a complete evap kit going to 4everCS that is not pictured.
Next up this week/next week are single stages for 24in Front, Evil XP2400, and a 220v/50hz unit for NattoNRice. He's also working on a triple head triple compressor unit for KCNYC. Once these units are complete he'll be moving thru the repairs. . .there are 6-7 units that need mods or gas, etc. Afterwards he'll be building dual head dual compressor units from scratch for entsafter and jpharg. That's as far as I want to project for now.

This one reads 11c too warm. So -34c is really-45c when measured with a temp guage:

This one, on the other hand reads 3c too cold so the display will pull down to -51c but it is really -48c.

Good lookin' units!
My bad. . .Entsafter, you are on the list for a two stage CPU cascade.
Please keep your comments to the unit you ordered. I have cleaned up your post and will coontinue to do so to anyone who gets out of hand especially to me. I am *not* the enemy here. . .making comments out of the side of your face is like biting the hand that feeds you. "nuf said

thanks for helping get this on the road!
He'll try to put one in and get it to work. That's the plan. If he can't get one to work, then we'll go to plan "B" which is a K style probe and a temp meter.Quote:
