Craig Ferrie, manager of MT. Mods from the UK, cries foul over a badly returned modded rig named "Gold Rush" after COMPUTEX 2017 held at Taipei, Taiwan. Gold Rush was created for one of Coolermaster's modding contests which features a pearl white and gold colour theme using hardware from brands including Coolermaster, ASUS ROG, Alphacool, Team Group and Cablemod. Gold Rush sports hardline loop liquid cooling, a custom-painted chassis, 24ct gold plated fittings, filigree, solid 24ct gold logo and others. After the said modding event, Gold Rush was sent to COMPUTEX 2017 for display. Craig broke his silence today about the entire incident after getting no help in return from Alphacool who's said to be responsible for shipping Gold Rush back from COMPUTEX. Gold Rush was returned in a very bad shape due to bad packaging and mishandling which Craig says Alphacool admitted. Not only was the packaging insufficient and improper to protect the entire modded desktop computer, Alphacool also 'forgot' to drain the coolant and shipped Gold Rush fully loaded.
Due to insufficient and improper packaging, the hardline custom-loop water cooling was catastrophically destroyed during shipping spilling coolant all over the case. This killed every electronic component inside Gold Rush along with scratches and physical damages on the custom-painted chassis.
There was an attempt to claim insurance from the courier which seems to have failed. The modder is still waiting for settlement with Alphacool over the damaged modded rig.
