our latest internal information from Mr. sahib:

Gentleman,

The racks will be ready by 2nd of September. However, it may be a bit earlier.

but please keep in mind shipping from the UK to Jeff or me will take some time.

*COUGH*

Are they ready yet, Sahib?  Leggoooooooo!!!!!

 

[[silent:arts]]

here in good old europe it is still the 1st of september ;D

GOOD NEWS:

The racks are being shipped to me tomorrow for Monday delivery. I'll sort them out immediately and ship your stuff by the end of next week

BAD NEWS:
I have checked the actual exchange rates :
We need to adjust the price in the US to USD 330
(however, your PSU parts kit is cheaper if you buy it from Jeff)
GBP / EUR will stay the same.

BEST NEWS:
50 x 511 Racks are available from Jeff for America soon, 25 from me for the EU, 25 from Cemal for UK and ROW (rest of world)
available quantity may differ, since all of us have pre-reservations.

if you want to chime in it is now the best time to mail your order / reservation to kitorder_at–51xAudio_dot_com
I'm sure all orders will be delivered this month!

 

[mulletchuck]

So, what's the word?  did Cemal ship them out yet?  keep us in the loop!!!  been waiting for this for AGES!!!      ;D ;D ;D

 

[[silent:arts]]

word is Cemal received all parts 8)
he is now bussy repacking and shipping to Jeff and me.
will take a few days, but those are shorter then ages

 

[mulletchuck]

excellent!  that'll take, what, like 2 weeks to get thru customs from the UK to USA?

round one took ages (and looked lost for a while  :-\)
round two went fast 8)
round three - we don't know yet
but 2 weeks sound realistic

Great stuff Volker.

Jeff's shipment for US/Canada is all packed and will hopefully be shipped this week.

UK and rest of the World members can contact me for their purchases.

[sahib]

Jeff's lot has been shipped. Hopefully they will be dumped onto his doorstep by the end of this week.

10 boxes. Happy exercise Jeff. ;D

Watch out the small one with the backplates in it. Damn thing is almost 30Kg. The guy in shipping agent casually tried to pick it up and almost fell into the boot of my car.  ;D

 

[mulletchuck]

GLORY!!!!!!!!!    can't wait!!!

 

[jsteiger]

Thanks Cemal. Looking forward to it!

I think I'm gonna make Chuck come by and help with the heavy stuff!   

 

[mulletchuck]

Lol if there's an easy way to get from NYC to Illinois without a car, i'm all for it!

50 backplanes have their weight
but the small little package with the back metal work isn't fun either ;D
the driver who delivered to me (2nd floor ) asked if I ordered gold bars  8)
Jeff, you should invite ChuckD and 12rafael: heavy metal is the law ;D ;D ;D

(now you know my fun shipping everything to Jeff / Cemal: 2nd floor, no car, and the shipping station even moved further away )

 

[sahib]

Funny, the guy also asked me that.  I told him if I had that much gold my post code wouldn't be Glasgow G3 6BQ, would be more like some beach in Bahamas".  ;D

I just hung up with our freight forwarder from O'Hare. Looks like the racks are being delivered to me before 10am next Monday morning! Woohoo! 

Yes guys, I am typically up my 7:00 so no biggie. 

 

[mulletchuck]

YEEEEEE HAWWWW!!!!!!!!  Best news i've heard all week!

So, you're gonna offer an all-inclusive kit on the website, right?  PSU + Rack  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm excited!!! 

 

[jsteiger]

No, not on the website yet Chuck. I have a pretty long list that I will work thru first. I want to give all of those who have inquired and have been waiting first crack before I list them on the site. It will all be done thru manual invoicing.

Next week will be a busy week for me.  ;D
