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:
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...leStage004.jpg
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
Good to hear it's helping with some of the controllers. :)Quote:

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:

However, it is totally rude for Dementor to pass judgement on people whose situation he knows absolutely nothing about. Does he really think that Chilly's the only person here whose life has been turned inside-out this past year? Well guess again! The difference is that I don't broadcast my personal tragedies in a public forum as a way to deflect from my poor business decisions and gain sympathy. That's certainly not a "decent" way to behave IMHO.
You really need listen to your own words. I'm not badgering, bashing, or passing judgement on anyone. Just to let you know, I myself am in debt for reasons I do not need to go in so I know how it is to be in his shoes. For that reason and that reason alone, I made the decision I did.
I didn't point any fingers to anyone, so you can't possibly refer to whom I'm talking about. I said the people "more annoyning" but you have no idea to how bad I mean, I can say because people have talked to me about their situation.
Not referring to you personally, but I think it's highly indecent of other persons making inflammatory public posts threatening various forms of legal and illegal actions. This is while simultaneously slinging innuendos about. That should be handled privately. Fugger is a much nicer person than I, for if it were me, I’d institute a LIFETIME ban against anyone making such posts.Quote:

i have full respect for the way you are fighting ya way back
many would have just rolled over
I think you need to understand that when you make comments like that, you are in fact passing judgement on others.
FWIW I did get your point. However, I feel that that particular comment was unnecessary and it just more of "blaming the victim" that has been going on a lot here.

p.s.: ?CT shipping receipt?
really hoping my modded vapo LS comes soon.
Again this is the one that I bought from crash which he shipped to chilly1 to be upgraded and re-gassed.
*fingers crossed* Hopefully something will come tuned to handle 200+ watts that isnt too loud.
Trust me I'd take that noble path too if I wasn't in debt up to my eyeballs and need the money :p: How's the production of units comin' along?Quote:

Reggie has been feeling ill for the past week to 10 days. It kept geting worse until two or three nights ago he spent several hours in the ER. He has severe sinusitus, which translates to his head being so stuffed up he feels like it will explode any minute! The antibiotics are helping almost immediately, but he still has really bad pressure headaches and gets tired very easy.Quote:

You'll be getting a surprise as he has controllers that seem to be reliably working and he has just about perfected a new hold down assembly that should make it on at least one of these units and eventually all future units.
Please be patient a bit more,mrsean, the head mods/regass units are next up.
It must be depressive to get ill every time, you think you're over the hill....
You've my best wishes for your health Reggie, don't work too much, it doesn't help when you've a big backfall again...
@ all waiting customers: You'll get your stuff, I'm really optimistic, but I could take longer when you push Reggie to hard and he overworks himself again...
OVER THE HILL??? NO way UNder the wether!!!
:)
I got sinusitus from all the infection ove rhte last year from all the mold and other infections that that led to.
BAck to work tommorrow.I am keeping up with my PM's adn still working a little every day just getting back up on my feet again, we will be moving into teh shop over the next week (FINALLY)
I've been reading about you for a few days now as I am new to the forum. I wish I had your knowledge/inginuity. You are a lucky man to have this many people care for you, especially the ones who have never met/spoken to you. I wish I was smart enough to help you out. When I get the cash I'll be wanting one of your units since they apparently are the best you can get, plus I'd be helping in my own way. Good luck.:toast:Quote:

He is not doing fresh builds until all of our units are built and shipped. It's a BIG DEAL that he's getting into the shop this week. 2500 sq ft is nice to work in compared to a cramped dining room "shop". He'll be in a better position to bang out the units and get thru the head mods and regasses once the shop is fully set up.Quote:

They are on the way now probably about 6 weeks.Quote:

We did get a bunch of containers in fronm the manafacturer, condensers, fans, filters, temp probes and more tomorrow.. we are setting up now.

So nice to have supplies!! Congrats, my friend, I hope you get things set up soon. Folks are clamoring for some good news. This is great news...
Haven't posted in awhile. Any updates on my unit?
The shop has power but isn't fully set up and operational yet...I think it will be up and running by week's end.Quote:

peace perc
thats a condenser, thats where the refrigerant changes from a gasious state to a liquid.
Hey Chilly1, sent you back another PM bout getting a pricing catalogue or list.
Get back to me when you can! :)
Ok, I have a proposition for you guys at the shop. If I agree to drop the debt Chilly1 owes me ($100), can you guys work on my unit? I want this thing AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I'd like to order a unit when convienient. I'm in no hurry, and have to find out how much I need to save so don't put me on a list yet. Can philly or chilly pm me when I can order? Thanks, hope things keep going well.
Any updates? It's been awfully quite here lately.
Agreed. Fugger, check your PMs.Quote:

Delete this post if inappropriate, but I just needed to speak my mind.
i got pm about 1-2mos ago stating I should be next in line.
Still nothing :(
I'm out VapoLS I bought from Freecableguy plus my $$$ for a vapo mod

Cmon fellas, lets get an update.
Who here has reggie's #?
I've PM'd Philly Boy several times over the past week or two and still haven't had word back from him yet regarding a updated ETA on the refund after he missed his original deadline late last month...
Just a FYI though he told me chilly1 was sick again and back in the hospital recuperating which was what was causing the delay, this is info. from 1st of March though and we're now over half way through this month so who knows where things stand now.
I still have a phone number that chilly1 PM'd me quite a while ago written down if you need to get a hold of him....
I have answered every pm sent me within 24 hours. If you didn't get a reply, it's because I never got it.Quote:

I will still be contacting Reggie about the unit I have yet to receive...but from here on out I lack the time to champion all of our causes.
Please don't send me hate mail....I am just one guy trying to get his priorities straight. Send me regular mail and pm's and such...but unfortunately I can no longer keep up with the volume of mail regarding everyone's back ordered units.
This is most stressful on all of us, Don sent me the current list and if there are any changes I will let you guys know and or Don will let me know.
Thanks Don, best to let people know. You made considerable progress and many more thanks for helping those out who when you came out. Taking on this mess and helping was apprecriated immensely.
Thanks, it really is nice to be appreciated once in awhile....
Now...a request to Reggie...
WE NEED A STATUS UPDATE!!!!
What is up with the shop? Is it set up? Are the production lines saet up? parts in place, etc?
When will the units start to roll out? We want a date we can hold you to...
We also want a list of who's units are up next to be produced.
I'm at the end of my rope. It's been 14-15months now since I purchased a VapoLS from Freecableguy. I have never ever seen the unit. Was shipped to Reggie after I bought it for a "regass" and I was going to have a better head put on so paid for that.. Was told it would be a few more weeks about 100x now. Reggie, if your reading any of this WTF. It's my unit not yours. I'm a patient person but really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14-15months. This is absolutely ludicris.
Agreed, I'm about at the end of my chain as well.
Philly, are things still going to go down with Corsair or is that out the window now?
@ FragTek: Same question... but they told me it's a one time offer...
I just talked to Fugger about the Corsair refund thing...all is still a go. Charles had to account for each refund to the folks at Corsair. Product is due soon. Please pm him for any further updates...Quote:

what about this refund thing?
first I've heard about it, but disgust has kept me away for the most part!!!!
I'll take a refund over empty promises anyday. Sign me up! Where do I go????
Ask Fugger...
I don't think it's good to publish all the details. But Corsair offered to take care of the buyers -> they could choose corsair parts for the money they gave to Reggie.. and Fugger would have sold them to get money for they buyers which prefers money over corsair parts...
Frankly, I don't care about any double-dealing that Reggie's got going on. At this point, I just want my Mach 2 GT back ASAP unmodified.
If this had been anyone else who pull this kind of crap, there would have been hell to pay. People would be yelling "Scammer" and there be multiple posts and news articles popping up on every tech site.
Instead we have got nothing but 2 years of "Paypal screwed me/I'm setting up a new shop"/I'm under the weather". Rinse and repeat.
I'm not saying that those circumstance were not legitimate, but enough is enough. I think nothing short of legal action is going to end this and I am extremely pissed that I let people here talk me out of that last year.
I've waited 16 months (Shipped 12-03-05). I wouldn't say I'm at the end of my chain, yet.
Sign me up for refund too. $1200 for dual head ordered 10-18-05.
I thought there aren't a lot of people who are waiting for their units... someone told me approx 13 or 14....
And why had everyone who posted here, paid more than 1.5 years ago? strange...
I have no idea how many people are waiting because Reggie will not do what he has been asked to do numerous times. That is post a list of waiting clients. If his intentions are not disingenuous then why is that so hard to do?
Also as I have said from the very beginning, he should be keeping in contact with each person and supplying us with routine updates. It should not be the responsibility of the customer to call or email him or come to this forum to vent regularly in order to get some kind response.

Six with repairs/mods/regasses; five asking for refunds (a few more recent requests not included); two that are not units but parts, eight who are waiting on single stage units, and six or seven that are waiting on more complex units, i.e. cascades or multi headed units.
I cannot publish the list as it contains sensitive personal data. I wouldn't want my home address posted on ths public forum...would you?
For what purpose? Taking longer to complete because he has to update everyone daily?Quote:
