Ok I hate very much starting this thread but the time has come for it. After the first thread I posted here I am again.
Tomorrow will be 18 weeks that this build has been going on. I was not going to list a history at first but I decided that it would better show what is going on.
Back on 3/9/2008 I contacted Jin to do a SS Phase unit build for me. The unit was to be for a build very much like jAkUps, meaning a TJ07 case sitting on top of a SS unit, see jAkUps computer. I had talked with Jin on the phone and we went over what the build would be used for CPU wise, build quality etc.
As I wanted a controller and a few other items, such as a spare Evap head and extra controller. I was told at that time ETA would be about 4 weeks and the controllers were coming from EU.
I was given an estimate and deposit requirement in which I did a PayPal transfer of the amount to Jin’s PayPal account on 3/21/2008.
4/1/2008 Jin starts a build log per my request

4/14/2008 rolls around and I ask for an update. I am told he is waiting for cases from china.
4/22/2008 cases stuck in customs. Build is completed and just waiting on case.
4/23/2008 build is now at 4 weeks. Still no cases
I sent off a PM to Jin asking about a chiller unit like the one in the link and if something like the link here could be installed into a chopped down TJ07 so it matched my current case.

We decided at that time to install both SS and Chiller into a second TJ07 case. I ordered a TJ07 from NewEgg and made the huge mistake on using Jin’s address as the ship to address, different than my CC address. After fraud alarms went off and getting NewEgg and my Bank on the phone on a 3-way we got this taken care of and the TJ07 was ship to Jin.
4/29/2008 Jin received the TJ07. Was now told he had some other builds to work on so delayed even more
5/06/2008 Was told that he would see what he could post up on the weekend as far as my build went. SS is done and he is starting on chiller. Nothing was posted.
5/30/2008 Was told he was finishing up a build for another person, set me a pic of it, man it looked great ! and that I was #1 priority starting today.
Edit: - Ops forgot this one
6/8/2008 Recieved an email describing a few details of the build and that it was going a bit slow.
6/24/2008 He answered my PM’s finally and I was told he was sorry for it taking so long and would have some pictures tonight when he got home.
6/25/2008 I waiting over night and no pictures were posted or emailed.
7/6/2008 I started a thread in Builders/Customer Releations. Ok that didn’t go so well
7/7/2008 I guess Jin did find out about the thread as I received an email from him with pic’s. Then contact became hard again, no answer to PM’s or emails.
So on 7/7/2008 this is the pic I was sent
That was the last contact...
I want you all to know that I have been very easy going, understanding and no pressure this whole time. I think Jin is an outstanding builder and makes the best units out there. I know we all have real life issues and problems to deal with and I am very understanding about that. But no communication to someone who has paid you a fair amount of money for a job and make me have to hunt him down each time for updates is just not right imo.
I have been waiting 18 weeks now this friday and lately contact is becoming difficult and I do not feel that I should be the one trying to hunt him down. Man to Man he should keep me informed via PM’s/emails or phone calls. I am not asking to be called everyday, just pop me off an email or PM. You know act like I am a paying customer, which I am.
If there is bad news, tell me, but tell me something.
I have had the money ready to send off to Jin for some time now to payoff whatever costs are needed for the final build and I would love more than anything to hit that PayPal money transfer button again.
But as time has gone on I just want to get it over with, or move on. The last pic it looks very close to being done so lets get this wrapped up and out the door so we both can move on.
Edit: added 6/8 contact
