Honestly I have not spoken with him in the past couple of months, but the last I heard he had the one "pissed off" guy at him about the quality of his work one a plenum one that was supposed to be "his best". There are several things that have limited his time, which I bet is the cause of these quality issues. I will without taking ANY RESPONSIBILTY AT ALL in this matter see if I can get ahold of him to see WTF is up.... and try to make him take responsibility for this mess. I'll try to keep you guys posted but never really come here as me getting a Z never ended up happening :/....... Also why do so many of you guys ship this shit off and pay BIG money for something that you can SO do on your own it is NOT hard by any means here is how to do it to a computer heatsink the idea is excatly the same.
