Have they been listed on the site yet? I haven't seen them yet...unless I'm looking for them on the wrong pages.

Have my GT stripped down and waiting for these to become available now.

Happy New Year to everyone btw.

How did you order them? I haven't seen them on Petra's site yet.

[irangan]

I just emailed quoc as I not from US.. So all ordering must go through him.

Happy new year to you guys too.

[momoceio]

I haven't heard from iandh since Dec 18...I ordered mine on the 10th. I hope he shows up again...

[Martinm210]

I haven't seen him around either, he's probably busy machining more parts for everyone...

That or spending some much needed time with friends and family for the holidays..

[momoceio]

Yeah, I hope so

[Waterlogged]

Also, I'm not sure how many ppl actually pay attention to the front page over at PTS so I'll post this.

Holiday Schedule Update 12/21/07 17:52 PST


Just so that everyone knows, we're going to be "closed" from 12/22/07 until 10:30 AM on 1/2/08. Despite being closed, we will be sporadically shipping orders on 12/26-12/28 & 12/31. So, while most orders will still be shipped as usual, phone and e-mail support may not be available (okay... phone support won't be available but we'll still be checking our e-mail...). Happy solstice, everyone!

I doubt Alex or anyone else is going to mess around adding things to the site when they're taking a much needed vacation.

Just be patient everyone, I bet they'll be up soon enough.

[septim]

and for everyones benefit, Quoc just emailed me a few days back , saying the website in not really that updated yet on whats available for sale. so patience is still best.

(example: EK anti cyclone divider is available but not on the site yet as are some other stuff from Quoc's secret stash...)

and UPS didnt pick up any packages on Dec30-31 so we have to wait for jan2 before some of our packages would get shipped...

[welshtom]

He's busy making my order hopefully!!!

[Justintoxicated]

I'm still waiting to know if these will for sure fit my GTS.

I already have a Maze4 bu it's killing me having this card for 2 weeks and I can't install it...

I'm about to fork out for a full cover block if necessary I need my PC back up and running

I would definately hate to be waiting only to find that these will not work for the GTS.

[Fitseries3]

Damn you guys.... be patient. it takes time to machine anything out of metal. especially if you are trying to make a huge quantity of them to sell.

[momoceio]

He contacted me via PM today. He didn't' ship anything over the holidays because he had 5 lost orders and didn't want to lose anymore. He payed for reshipping out of his own pocket

[iandh]

I usually don't have this bad of luck with shipping but USPS has been losing these things left and right. I have one order for two sets that went to a guy in Australia and I think it now has been lost a second time, so that is four sets of these sinks just floating around somewhere in the world. All in all I have lost about ten sets total (as fate would have it the SLI sets seem to get lost more easily), or equivalently about eight hours of my time and about $60 in materials and tooling.

Luckily most of the shipments within the US have not been lost.

I was way busier over the holidays than I expected, and I did get to spend some much needed time off with family. I also had to move into a new apartment on the 30th and managed to pack and move all of my belongings in roughly 14hrs including cleaning my old place. I still do not have internet at home which is why I have not been seen much. Verizon is supposed to be there on the 4th so hopefully I will be a little more active then.

Thanks for your patience everyone and I assure you all that I am working as hard as I can to get these done!

I am almost 100% sure these will fit your card. I checked the picture and did not see any conflicts with my design. I would suggest a careful inspection before installation though.

Awesome, that is indeed great news, glad to hear back from you thanks! So do I need to PP you or wait until they arrive at Petra's Shop?

[momoceio]

He's not selling them himself anymore...he stopped taking personal orders on Dec 10th. You'll have to order them from Petras once they release them.

FYI lost could just be customs delays, I had one order to Australia that took almost 4 full weeks to get there, and I had another take only 10 days. There is no way of knowing what customs might do and no way for you to get delivery confirmation.

Anyhow sorry to hear of your bad luck spree.

[Synomenon]

So everything that iandh's custom sinks cover should have AS Ceramique applied to them? What about Chomerics Thermattach T412 thermal tape?

[dinos22]

nicely done mate

edit: NVM, enough crying about my shippng woes. It seems like everytime I bend over to do someone a favor I get burned.

Some times I really become bitter about things like this but I guess you have to ignore the bad and embrace the good.

[Justintoxicated]

How bad would it be to plug my GTS in without the Ram/Mosfet sinks and only a Maze4 until these are available?

Hope ya don't hate me I do feel your pain. My guess is that he wanted a cooling solution for his card ASAP as do I, but disputing payment so soon does not sound like it will get the ball rolling any faster with the holiday lag.

I'm sure things will get better. We can always blame Nvidia for releasing the new card design at X-mas heh.

I totally understand where the guy is coming from but the thing is that international shipping sucks, and you pretty much have to accept that when you fork out the cash, you may or may not receive the item you paid for. It is not fair to place blame on the seller.

Shipping these things over the holidays has been sucktastic. I swear I have gotten almost a 10% failure rate on shipments. I know usually things are a bit slower but I don't remember it being this bad with losses and all.

Maybe your post office just has a bunch of disgruntled postal workers. :P I noticed quite a few of my packages were bashed in over this holiday season. I even stopped shipping live aquarium stuff until after the holidays.

[perfection]

USPS once took me close to a month to get a half of a waterblock custom made from martinm210, we though it was lost but then it showed up. I hope its the same for you iandh

That sucks.

I would personally always send stuff recorded so you can track it.
