Couple suggestions:

1. Get a hold of the guy who owns Primochill (Brian I think)
2. Get email Hank at Performance PCs and/or Gary at Sidewinders

They are actually going into their little retail boxes right now. The hold ups are minor but important, and mostly my fault (not Brian's).

First I pitched a fit over fancy pants boxes that added $4 US to the out the door costs. A brown box with good padding for safe shipment is fine. WTH? The FANCY box is the one people are installing these into, not the ones they ship in.

Then I insisted on including an exploded view on a printed insert that will have at the very least basic instructions and linkage to some online tutorials and a video or two.

When I wanted metal plugs for the front INCLUDED and not sold as optional parts Brian said no, the polycarbonate LED plugs were fine. I pointed out that NOBODY is going to light the front of their T3 he said they don't have to. Then He looked at actual units with BOTH plugs and said they HAD to be metal on the front as these add a nice bling. Go figure.

Over all the people at Primo Chill in general and Brian in particular have done everything they could to meet my "requests" and the like.

Units for EU distributors and Modders Mart in the US should ship around Friday Barring any further issues. This is just my unofficial prediction as I have no say obviously.

DB DOES actually have 3 units in transit for a build, and another 2 earmarked for a LAN box. Proof positive that Friendship (and bribery) knows no boundaries.

Boddaker already has 3 in hand and you can see them in his Trident worklog at any number of sites, including mine (BoxGods.com).

Sorry for the lack of updates but I have several new designs in prototype testing including a delrin D5 pump top that is kicking serious bottom so far and a sexy little pump for my SFF brethren. Also Delrin. More news on these as soon as I find a buyer for the designs =)

Thanks for the heads up Boxgods, still waiting aswell

I have a full plating station.

We have seen more than once a barb when screwed in just tears the plating right off. Exposing raw alum to the loop.

But, I'd like to see your setup etc, maybe you solved the problem.

[xguntherc]

Yea I understand not wanting a fancy box. I personally don't care. I like how with the true cooler it is a plain box. The product speaks for itself and I think this res will do the same. Save the $4 dollars and make a better profit to start on ur next project.. I currently use the micro v2. I have a ek multi I want to use. But if I can get my hands on ur product I will sell them both tonight and get yours. It would work exacly perfect for me.

Those parts or for my personal use so not an issue.

I triple plate also so nothing is tearing off.

Also, I do not subscribe to the fear of mixed metals a lot of guys seem to. None of my dissimilar metals actually touch each other, all get triple plated (copper, then nickel, then chrome) and I use a non conductive fluid. If I was really worried I would use a less noble metal like zinc as a sacrificial anode.

In ancient times it was believed that if a man and a woman bathed in the same bath water the woman must bathe first or risk becoming pregnant. Course if they bathed at the same time...BAM!

Yeah, the box thing is a personal "bug" for me. I have written lots of reviews and read tons more. Reviewers waste an entire page on the box information and the art etc. Tell me if the packaging survived UPS and what was included, then move on. That $4 bucks was better spent on metal fill port plugs for the front and a printed insert page with usable information.

[BringerOdeath]

The res with the pump port is perfect for what I need!! Where can I preorder it? I would give you the $60 dollars now for it!! I finally was able to get white 1/2" tubing from the UK shipped to me since XSPC has started making it Europe, this would be the final peice needed!!!

Almost theere...almost theeere....

Of course if you don't play L4D that isn't funny to you.

The first US store to get inventory will be ModdersMart. I believe they are taking pre orders Friday or Monday "ish".

[Mech0z]

Hope they come overseas soon as well, and I am really looking forward to see what kinda prices in £ they are going to go for.

Hehehehe, Yeah i play quite a bit of left 4 dead and understand you quite well!! Want it!!

[BoxGods]

Fittings are in stock at ModdersMart and in route to EU resellers.

T3's any day now.

WOOT!...collapses.

[Diverge]

I've been wanting to buy one of these things for months now. I was disappointed to see they were held up a while cause of fittings - we could buy fitting anywhere, we just want the box

(at least I only want the box, since it will simplify my build so much by having the pump in upper portion of the case)

Yeah I know. I did not want my name on one of those products where you open the box all excited only to find out you have to purchase all these other bits to make it work. All that said...man it HAS taken a long time lol.

Do you know if they will ship to EU quickly or if we wont get from the first batch?

[BoxGods]

I can't say for sure, but I imagine most of the time difference will be just the increased distance more then one shop having their order sent before another. Longer distance, cross order customs and all that stuff.

[Mech0z]

Will this work with a D5 none vario model? I got one used offered very cheap (30£) and just wonder if I can use that model I suppose that would be more powerful than the XSPC Duel res.

[soulesschild]

I'll be first in line to change out my current pump and res top for a D5 and this. Would finally get me off my lazy ass and finish WCing my 4870x2. lol. any estimate as to when jab-tech, petras/sidewinder will have these all in stock?

I've all but given up on this coming to the market - after checking PrimoChill's website everyday - then hitting modders mart to check for the New Merchandise every month of the year for example: "April" everyday then the recently added "May" .... it's commical.
Then calling the Number of Moddersmart - leaving message after message, with never a call back. Emailing several times, got one return saying nothing more than soon and sorry no pre-orders. Then calling some more and FINALLY BY THE GRACE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE. (ZOMGTHEFIRSTTIMEAFTER10CALLSSOMEONEANSWEREDTHEPHO NE) Brian and asked about the Typhoon III and a Heatercore (4x4) that he said he would follow back up with me from his Heatercore guy and sorry you cant preorder but in 2 weeks you can. *(never ever emailed me back) They showed me how much they want my money or care about me as a customer. I guess in this economy that have money flowing out of their ears and dont need to go any distance for a potential first time customer........

Yeah - this whole thing strikes a BIG CHORD with me. Done with primochill - except the tubing.

I've been doing the same thing minus calling moddersmart. Finally I gave up and just picked up a ddc 3.2 and an xspc res top. oh well, maybe if it ever does come out I will add it into the system...

I called 3 days ago. The guy on the phone said it should be going on the website tomorrow for pre-orders. 3 days later, it's still not up...

Yep - thanks for confirming! Also they had a short stent of the Website for both Primochill and Moddersmart downtime. I got excited thinking they were updating the site - but Nope! Notta, Zip, Zilch.


I feel like doing this to PrimoChill....

[Diverge]

Just a heads up for other people who have been waiting... It's up for sale on Primochills site!

I ordered mine earlier today
