did you have a previous account on the forums as if you can remember what it was I can merge the current one with it.

Whats makes you think maplins, Various places but the board and case were imported directly from the manufacturer for me

True, But I've always run raid for the OS drive as I like keeping stuff on my desktop, as much as I like doing the occasional backup knowing my luck the drive will fail and i'll lose everything again.

I thought about going with an SSD but unless you buy the bloody expensive ones the sas drives are just as good, Also the drives will be setup in raid which can cause issues with less expensive ssd drives that don't support trim.

why do they bother even putting that up, I wouldn't use it for track either.

I know we have some computer enthusiasts in the club so thought I'd post up some details of my new rig that i'm building. First off this is not being built for gaming but rather home multimedia and also a virtual server platform. Arrived last week we start off with the motherboard which is a Supermicro X9DAX-7TF : Then the hearts of the beast are two xeon six core 2ghz cpu's I'm planning to order 32GB 1600mhz ECC memory shortly but heres a pic of the case its all going in : The board has 8 sata ports for hard drives but what makes this board special to me is that it also has 8 SAS drive connections so I can run high speed 15k drives in it like these which are 600gb 15k SAS drives :

no need, just post a reply to my post here, lol

With regards to the actual Banning this task is solely done by the committee and only a majority vote will allow a ban to proceed. The banning of any member is thoroughly discussed and no member will be banned just because a mod or a committee member has personal history with them. This process will now be followed for any application of previous banned members if they wish to be reinstated.

How about no interior ?

nice:thumbup1:

True, and I nearly started it myself but refrained as one of you mods would have lynched me for it.:laugh:

Go Murray

OK my final say is that no matter what or where you buy please do some due diligence before committing on a sale. As I've said previously this was not a head hunt as I've never once said who the sale came from. If there is pictures great, but if they are unclear then ask for clearer ones. If you pay by paypal then ensure that you never pay as a gift as you have no comeback if things go wrong. Lastly no matter how eager you want to get your hands on something take your time as that's what made me miss all the vital signs. I'd like to thank every one for there comments and I hope this never happens to anyone on these forums or anywhere else. Thanks again. -- Thread now closed

I could say the same for the other parties posts and for the last week I've refrained from posting. But I can only take so much slander aimed towards me that I had to show everyone what actually happened. I'll close the thread shortly as its made it point and people can now see the truth for themselves.

Bubble wrapped which I've done myself in the past many times but I always ensure its very thick with multiple layers!

Quality parts or Quality customers ? Personally I think your parts are of the highest quality and I initially compared this spoiler to the 99 spec and skirts I've previously got from you. So I rank you very high on the manufacturing and the after sales process.:thumbup1:

I'm not after a head hunt as I would have named from the start. I only want people to understand this from my point of view and make up there own minds rather me being slated on other places. This is an open forum and everyone can have there own opinions which I will not moderate unless they are aggressive towards myself or the committee. From the evidence shown if this arrived at your step would you wish a refund or just accept the damages? The delivery was accepted and signed for yes; but the damage was not apparent until opened. Which courier that you know would allow a parcel to be fully opened by an unknown party with a signature to take ownership ?

Well I've decided I no longer wish to fit it to my zed as I don't want to be remembered by it all the time. So open to serious offers but it does require a bit of work. Maybe I could send it to our very own carmad for repair then sell on from there to save all the postage.

a month ago and about 3 months ago

You can have it ! for a small fee, lol

May I emphasize the words NEW Abflug Spoiler ! As you can see from the above pictures its has since sustained heavy damage since being having the classification of new. This was purchased recently from a unnamed member on these forums for the whole sum of £300 sheets. Being a trusting fellow that I am; I never fully examined or queried the for sale thread pics so I bought this and may I say pleaded with another member who had first dibs to get my hands on it. I negotiated and lucky for that other member they decided to let me have it. Now can you see the problem ? When I arrived home to see this new specimen I was shocked and disappointed to what I found. The spoiler which may I say was brand new was cracked and split down the full horizontal axis. It was also apparent that some sort of glue had been used to join the spoiler at some point as the white primer that you would expect to be completely covering the spoiler only covered each half and was very jagged around the joins and towards the ends you could very clearly see that there was never any primer applied over the glue marks. To me and to many other people whom I showed this to all agreed that this spoiler was or had been damaged and repaired. I'm not saying the spoiler wasn't new as it arrived with new bolts and there was no sign of paint being applied but rather that somehow it has been previously damaged from a new condition then repaired again so I wouldn't class it as new. After contacting said member it was agreed for a return but they expressed on me making sure that the spoiler was ensured for the full value which I would have obviously done anyways but I thought how strange to mention that but I packed up and sent it. Three days later I get confirmation from the courier that said member refused to take delivery on the basis of its damaged ! I then contacted the member whom now refused to deal with me and refused to give me a refund. all in I've paid £300 plus about £14 paypal fees then another £30 sending it back. I'm keeping names out of this although most of you will know who this came from. I just wanted people to see and understand my side as i'm fed up seeing and being slated and even at one point being told that I was the one who done the damage which is absolutely crazy. I've managed to suppress and keep this issue to myself but I now feel people should know the truth. Lastly below is a picture taken from the sale thread which I now wish I paid more attention too. You can now clearly see the bad joins in the primer and the rough edges which look already split or repaired.

So here it is folks; what you've all been waiting to see :
