    Show of support for nVENTIV Staff

    Kit-Tronics staff would like to show support for the great team with skill at nVENTIV who have just lost their income. Kit-Tronics would like to offer any support we can, including the possibility of employment with Kit-Tronics in the near future.

    Kit-Tronics always believed lower prices would increase volume and make it a mainstream product. The only way this could have been done was to manufacture them in larger volumes, with lower labor costs. The reason Kit-Tronics has some of the lowest prices on these products was from the savings on shipping cost of moving larger volumes at a time.

    Kit-Tronics is in the middle of an nVENTIV product launch in Japan with magazine reviews just out and sponsored events in Tokyo.
    Kit-Tronics had placed an order just an hour before the announcement. As Kit-Tronics is one of the rare companies in this industry with cash on hand, if nVENTIV has any inventory in their warehouse, Kit-Tronics will be ready to purchase the entire stock, including the repair and test equipment to honor warranties of units already sold.

    We must all think long term. nVENTIV's fall was a setback for all of us, including Asetek. Competition is healthy. Advertising the existence of CPU sub-zero cooling is easier done with two companies instead of just one. Looking forward, we can hope, and try to make the events of this week turn into something positive.

    What does not kill you can only make you stronger.

    this is why I always say Kit--Tronics is one of the best sites around for hardware.
    showing support for Nventiv right now, is a good indication of a company and shops support for overclockers, and hardware enthusiasts everywhere.

    Looks like a statement... where's the advertising? It's probably in reply to my "price-gouging" comment about Kit-Tronics.com in another thread. (which I must say that I completely retract) Can't say I see any advertising in it?

    If Kit-Tronics DOES have some cashflow, then you guys should buy all the equipment/plans/patents/designs and simply MANUFACTURE Mach1's and 2's in Canada! Sounds good to me.

    Damn, that would be awesome.

    JC - best of luck to you. Did you know of this before, or did this come as complete surprise for you as well?

    "The reason Kit-Tronics has some of the lowest prices on these products was from the savings on shipping cost of moving larger volumes at a time."

    "As Kit-Tronics is one of the rare companies in this industry with cash on hand"

    "this is why I always say Kit--Tronics is one of the best sites around for hardware."

    "Kit-Tronics has a ton of class, you guys truly are in a league of your own!"

    Some of thoose statements was written under Kit-tronics name some wasnt... but most of them would suit well in a jingle.
    And just the thing that Kit-Tronic is mentioned 9 times in the first post....
    I am sure that the competeing companys dont get more costomers due to this post only Kit-Tronics do... young ppl with money to spend turn to a entusiast page like this and see the pro´s praizing kit-tronics.
    I to things its a wonderful thing if they could get nVentiv to live again or something like that, i think i am one of those who will loose much on them being gone, tho i was thinking about ordering a setup soon. But rules are rules even if the company makes the advertising is on our good list. Cant bend the rules for one company and not the other.
    Forum rule 4: We do not permit advertising OF ANY KIND! This includes offering items for sale or trade (other than in the Classifieds), posting your URL, Or announcements of new sites This applies equally to commercial and private ads. This is also NOT to happen within user signatures, only legal links in a signature will be links directly related to Xtreme Systems, Xtreme Folding @ home and any affliated website or organization.


    "Looks like a statement... where's the advertising? It's probably in reply to my "price-gouging" comment about Kit-Tronics.com in another thread. (which I must say that I completely retract) Can't say I see any advertising in it?"
    -Havnt read what you wrote in another post..... the add is in how this thing was written... as said before nine times was the company named, just so they be sure it got stuck in ours head. Isnt a add something you write/show/say to get more customers?

    all this said, Kit-Tronics if you go thrugh with this its a wonderful thing....

    This should be considered an announcement, and it's presence here will be temporary, it will be moved after members have had sufficient time to view it.

    Wait, if the Mach X series was made in Canada wouldn't costs go down b/c the taxes are gone (or lowered...)

    that'd be NICE

    1) nVentiv got a grant from their government, they were off to a good start. This is unlikely to happen if another company buys their assets (as they arent really a start-up, not to mention the track history of this product type looks bad).
    2) Ireland, Poland and several regions in Eastern Europe should be cheaper than operating in Canada, definately than operating in Denmark, tho admittedly Im unfamilar with Denmarks corporate tax rate.


    Overall, Im wondering if anyone will be offering support and RMAs for nVentivs current customers with dead HW (of which Im one).

    I don't believe this qualifies as advertising. I believe Kit-Tronics is sincere in their message, and willingness to help.

    *usual John Cena mind warning*

    I think K-T are doing a great thing, but I don't think it can be done. There just aren't enough customers, and besides "lower costs" won't make the unit drop a few hundred $ in price
