Added on July 11, 2010, 11:42 pmCouple of factors to mention, my unit is on the cooler master Ergostand and it is elevating my laptop. Cooling fan is 40mm at max speed. Ambient temperature well, do a google search for KL temperature but I'm betting it's way hotter than where you are

Yeap he did.. was just wondering, because in the email they said they will call to confirm.. 2moro morning im gonna wait at the banks door until they open... kekeke..

my friend recently did wire transfer, he recommended maybank for TT..

Maybank had the best TT currency exchange rate compared to all the other banks in my area. Their service charge is also lower and it took them 2 business days to get the funds over to Gentech's account so I would recommend them too. I got a free KFC voucher to boot but I think I was lucky that day or the teller (lady) really liked me, LOL!

hehehe...just another couple of weeks (I'm going home..yeaah....)..hehehe...that's a promise...
It'll be better if this model is also selling at the airport terminal i'm transiting....then no need for me to buy online...huhuhuuhu

True, it will be a thrill if you could procure it at the airport due to instant gratification but here are some things to consider:

1.) The box is huge & heavy. It's no cakewalk to carry around, trust me. You will have to unpack it at the shop and immediately use your new ROG backpack to store the unit to make it easier for yourself to transport it, no fun if you have a lot of other luggage.

2.) Not sure which airport you will be at but aren't airports retail shops one of the most expensive places to shop. The rental alone for a retail outlet is a killer and the cost is passed down to the customers. Feel like bearing your throat to be garroted?

I've been an online shopper for many years and although I get extremely anxious and wary of the problems you will face, this experience so far is the best I've had. The wait time was not excruciating, it was easy to purchase and make payments and the service was impeccable

1) I always travel light..so no problem there...

2) I have to agree on the rental cost....but from my experience, buying electronics from the airport is slightly if not cheaper than buying elsewhere...but maybe that is because it's tax free...hmmmmmm

3) yups..the wait, makes it MORE interesting...BUT if there is an alternative which doesn't involve waiting...I'll definitely take it..hehehehe

i just made they payment, one thing that confuses me though, they didnt at all use the swift id.. he said he only needed the bank account.. sorry for being a noob here, but this is my first time..

exchange rate was 3.2300, i paid a total of 5757.12 including rm 25 service charge...


mark i guess the lady really did like u after all, i got not free gift.. lol..

Yeah, I faced the same problem. The lady did not take the swift code and the bank manager called me later for the code. My advice is to speak to the manager and inform him about the Swift code or your payment might be delayed. Congratulations and let's hope your unit arrives fast

owh crap.. too late for now.. how long did it take before they called u?

Added on July 12, 2010, 6:49 pmis it possible for them to make the transaction without the swift code ?

Uhmmm, 45 minutes I think. Yes but the might be some delay

sighhhh... i knew i should have asked him...

Added on July 12, 2010, 8:58 pmim getting really worried now, i asked my friend, he said even he did give them the swift code, how come the teller didnt know... haiz..

If i'm not mistaken.. ALL TT require Swift Code, otherwise no transactions can be made..

I suggest u call up the bank instead of waiting for the bank to call u...

Added on July 12, 2010, 11:20 pmBy the way, we can just do it online actually via MBB2U...no need to go to bank..

Hi,

I have been reading this thread and Alienware thread and I decided to get this laptop.
I have contacted Ken Lee from Gentechpc. Hope everything fine. Anybody using paypal to pay because it's easier for me compared to TT?

If I'm not mistaken, all the TT needs our swift code.

---

Added on July 13, 2010, 1:39 amAgree.

---

Added on July 13, 2010, 1:41 amI used PayPal but you must have a valid US address and GenTechPC do not accep PayPal for international transaction. IMHO, it is advisable for you to use TT as it is easier. Believe me!

I dont have maybank account.. I'll drop by at the bank 2moro.. another day delay..

Hi,

Jeffrey1987 u stay in UK? Currently I'm studying in UK so its kinda easier using paypal.
Gentechpc accept paypal from UK right?
Its a huge amount of money, and I can get my money back if problem arise via paypal.

This laptop going to burn all my saving.

I'm currently studying at Germany. If you insist on using PayPal, I can give you the e-mail of Ken Lee from GenTechPC. You just have to mention my name and ask him to allow you to use PayPal . Explain to him your situation now that you are studying at UK.

ken@gentechpc.com

All the best in your order!

I have contact him via email. I get his email from your previous post. So far so good. He really nice and answer all my questions

Really want this laptop . My 3 years old desktop has shown sign of aging. Cant overclock without suffering from BSOD.

Do paypal have any credit limit? Never buy stuff over 200 pounds via internet. Quite scared.
