Have you seen German craftmanship?Quote:

That paint work looks like it was done by a chimpanzee who's been let loose with a can of spray paint.
german engineering is great idk what your on about?
maybe feser specifically is poor but germany in general has great engineering
He's basically saying that if they are made in germany they are the sloppiest made german products around. (basically you guys are agreeing)Quote:

Feser, do something shady?!?! :shocked:
Why I never! :rofl: :ROTF: ;)
For 40 bucks I'd be looking at adding a couple more bucks and getting a swiftech, proven quality and performance.
Aye, the ethics of TFC are disgusting.Quote:

If any large retailer in the world pulls something dodgy, they're pretty much found out without someone blowing a whistle.
I actually believe as consumer, we're poorly treated by some of the manufacturers.
what did feser do now??Quote:

I've been shadowing this thread of a while. My take on this rad is this. YAY, more competition.
A common myth, however the truth is actually more banal. German engineering is no different from pretty much every other European country in terms of quality they just have a good press. Having spent the last 10 years traipsing around Europe visiting Engineering/manufacturing factories I have seen my share of good and bad and they are all the same in my eyes.Quote:

1. The Wheels
2. The Assembled in Germany sticker.

Bundy, thanks for posting this information.
I haven't read the threads on here, but it will be interesting to see what kind of performance this radiator can dish out. That being said, the paint job looks horrible.
I'd like to see a rad company target thinner radiators and optimize them. For some lan setups, the black ice pro is the only radiator that will fit.
Yeah if similar to the 320, things could be most interesting [savings].
Don't get caught up in the lunacy. It goes like this. Feser guy sends email to BP guy. Feser guy says he'd hit BP guy. Someone posts part of the email here. Reading that extract looks threatening. Apparently the full email goes a bit different. Feser guy says it was in good humor.Quote:

If you've had exchange students over, you quickly learn they the do not know how to recognise sarcasm or jokes. Abysmal business relations on Feser's behalf.
Actually goes back a lot further than that.Quote:

Chaos then ensued on the forums and many of the members here vowed never to own anything made by Fester.

And now we have the full story.
=D
I want me some German engineered wheelchairs. They must have rockets.
[Yes this does sound familiar now. I remember saying how they should have had international patents and then Vincent saying that there isn't one in this industry. Something like that anyway].
Just as long as they're not made by Innovatek or Fester, they should be amazing wheelchairs. :ROTF:
Heres the 2 posts that pretty much started the fireball.Quote:

wow feser.. wtf... wants to fight another firm? lol fist fight? hah
and feser stole BP's patents? did not know that. i'll stick w/ BP's
all this + Feser's overpriced rads that barely/don't beat the competition? (think TFC360 vs RX360 w/ low speed fans)
When Fester announced their rads, they screamed far and wide "Beats Thermochills by 5°C". I have to this day, not yet seen a test that confirms that claim.
Fester as a company, IMO, is nothing more than a bunch of charlatans and thieves.
Ha-ha! Beautiful! :ROTF:Quote:

This is another one of those: "We have no performance figures or even good pictures to go by things." I've seen this same thing repeat itself over and over with new products. It goes something like this:
Step 1 "Interest Phase" - Initially we get alot of interested and curiosity.
Step 2 "The Drama Zone" - But before too long, since there's no data, people get bored and it unfortunately migrates to aimless banter, drama, name calling, and rumor building.
Step 3 "Testing Phase" - As the drama begins to subside, someone "constructive" will actually apply their energy toward doing some useful testing. They feel a need to serve others rather than to carry on with the useless banter that goes nowhere.
Step 4 "Understanding/Conclusion phase"- At last those "constructive" folks will share what they've learned and set our minds at ease with useful information we can benefit from.
I'm afraid we're at step 2 and deeply in the "Drama" zone today...who's got popcorn?...:D
