wow... what a-holes who sent you the PS1 screen. BTW, did you get the insurance option? They have no reason to actully give you a refund. However, if you got the insurance, ebay should cover it.

I was very shocked to see the LCD simply put into a bag. it was a "bubble bag", has the bubble wrap inside and was marked fragile....but that defetes the whole purpose if whats inside isnt packaged properly.

Re: I/O plate. ya I know, I just figured to paint everything....just in case. plus I will have to paint some stuff I still dont have.

Not sure what you mean? Everything (links and pictures) were all working last night at 2am and are working this morning....must have been a glitch in the upgrade or something

No I didnt get any insurance....I only paid $30 for it and he did not get a tracking number. that made me a bit mad as well. yes the guy is an ebay noob. when I one the LCD he only had 1 for feedback, he currently has 8-9 and all positives. if he gives the refund, I will leave neutral, however if I have to hassle with him, he gets a negative. lots of things arent going as planned.

1. In auction text, seller stated NO scratches and that the item would be packed personally so there was no damage....well that got thrown out the window.
2. Seller did not get a tracking number
3. Seller advised from ship date I should recieve within 2 days....I actually recieved the item 7 days later.

so all in all this tranasction has gone badly. This is the first time in my 50 or so ebay transactions that I have ever had a problem. guess my good luck streak came to an end

Thanks!

Well the PSOne saga continues......

I love the Armor, was going to buy it, then I found that Thermaltake was coming out with the LCS model. I called thermaltake to find the release date....then searched everyday and found a retailer who finally got it. I would venture to bet I am one of the first to get this case.

Thanks....trust me I will keep'em coming. I love pics!

Update: PSOne LCD
well, I heard back from the guy... .....He claims its the shippers fault. and that I was offered shipping insurance but refused. first of all, it is clearly the sellers fault. because the items were not packaged properly, the item got scratched INSIDE the package. the lcd was not broke in anyway, so this i a no brainer, its the sellers fault. The auction specs clearly stated that shipping insurance was "not offered". I paid within seconds of the auction ending, I was never offered shipping insurance. and, the seller stated the item was shipped out on aug 2nd. I checked the packaging and is dated Aug 3rd. so he lied to me. Basically this guy doesnt want to refund the money. He hasnt said no yet, but eitherway, he is getting a very negative feedback. I have sold things before, only one time did the item I sold arrive DOA...I refunded the money and I was out of $60, no questions asked. you win some and you lose some.....anyway, lets see what happens today.

-------------------------------------------------------

Update: painting!!! YAY
The 2 coats of primer finished drying, looked pretty good. Now on to painting. The paint is very cool with the metallic finish...however....it goes on very thin. It took me 2 cans to do the first coat, and ran out of paint before I could get to the doors. So today I am going to go and get 3 more cans of the black metallic. cant say yet if I recommend this specific color, as I havent seen the finished result yat. So far I am happy with the primer, the paint seemed to stick just fine. I was originally planning 3 coats of paint....well, without breaking the bank because this stuff goes on pretty thin, I am thinking I will have to cut it back to 2 coats. for two coats of primier it took two cans. the pics are pretty hard to get a good idea of the color. The paint was pretty shiny because it was wet, had the gray primer coat behind it and went on thin, so it looks a little gray, but its pretty dark, I imagine it will get darker as it dries and with a second coat. Now on to the pics!!!!

See here it looks like gunmetal gray, but its actually almost black, I show detail later.









Close-up, looking pretty good. this is an ok, of the actual color.....oooooh shiny!!

Flash On

Flash Off







Another Close-up




Here you can see how dark it is by the contrast with the primer






Tower finished.






Oooooooh Specally!




Hangin out to dry









I like the paint, howevere like I said, it goes on pretty thin, So I have to get 3 more cans for a total of 5 black to get 2 coats. this little project just went from $30 to $50!

The paint for the most part performed very well. it went on even all over except a few spots that were a littl runny, due to user error!:withstupi

-----------------------------------------------------

Update:
The motherbaord came today......too bad no one was home to sign for it. So now I have to wait till after work to go get it from the PO. I want to walk out right now and go home and work on my rig...the anticipation is killing me!

Still waiting on my frozen order to get shipped, starting to make me mad. It is being delayed in shipping because they are out of the Swiftech pump. it was "Supposed" to be in almost 2 weeks ago!

I ordered some fun stuff from thinkgeek and got it yesterday. I got the dual Logysis CC UV lights and a laser trip wire spy toy thingy!! thought I would beef up my home security. Dont want anyone takin my rig!!!

Well.....thats it for now!
Kyle

Nice work so far and man that sucks about the LCD, how are you supposed to use it when it's that scratched!

If he eventually says no to give a refund go over to his house and demand one and show his the screen and tell him he is a n00b because he didn't wrap it.
Yea.......that always works!

I hope it works out too!!!

hehe....ya I would, but the I would have to drive all the way over to illinois.!
so far I have not heard anything back from the seller. may have to suck this one up. Dont feel like going through the hassel to get my money back from paypal or credit card. Be he is definatly getting negative feedback, to bad they limit the number of charactors! The lcd works, but the scratches are annoying. oh well, it can be a test mod until I get another LCD....who knows, maybe I will have TWO lcd's modded into the case...sweet!

I got the second coat of black on yesterday and the first coat of clear coat. The 2nd coat of balck really makes it shine! If I wanted to drop yet another $15 on 3 more cans of black then I would definatly do a 3rd coat.....but this little painting venture is getting costly. So I am satisified with 2 coats. I have 3 cans of clear which should give me 2 coats+. I took some more pics lsat night just didnt have a chance to get them up. the clear was a little tricky....I will explain more when I have the pics up. I plan on clear coating all tonight. I am going out of town again this weekend, which will be nice to give the whole paint job a few days to harden.

Yesterday was a particularly good day. I got my mobo in the mail!!! YIPPEEEE!! I had to pay a freakin arm and a leg for the g1975x but I managed to get probably one of the last few remaning brand new ones available. (Gigabyte stopped making the gi975x to come out with a new model in October). anyway, dont want to say to much now, will share more whan I have pics!

Thanks for the complimets!
Kyle
