If your wire transfer clears in the morning on their side, it will ship on the same day. Usually it's one day after wire transfer is complete.

Update: Just scroll up a few post dude, Link Fixed!

Expensive, I think it was 3.27. Average rate now should be 3.23-3.25.

Check my previous post for the information.

GentechPC will never call you. All transactions are done by email unless you want to call them yourself. Did Ken send you the necessary information for the wire transfer & the amount to be paid? You should get it latest one day after placing the order online through their system although I got all the relevant information for my unit with 10 minutes It really depends on when you made the order and the time following PST.

@Jeffrey, what software are you using to check you CPU temps? Just realized if you want consistent results and conformity we should both be using the same software and version. Post it here or shoot me a PM

CPUID HWMonitor v1.16 Reporting My Unit's CPU Temp at Idle is:

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

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!

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

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

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

You can use Paypal but you will not get the cash back discount. Furthermore I find Paypal charges rather dodgy. I have a dispute with them now as I paid Ken for my extended warranty through Paypal and the charged my card twice with some bogus charges, RM 3.20 X 2 = RM 6.40

It's really up to you but I would rather do a wire transfer and get some discount

Speechless!

Congratulations Bro I'm excited for you. Don't worry about the unboxing pictures, you're going to need time to set that beast up. I'm still testing it and ironing out the bugs. First order of business, if you enable bass boost under the creative software, enable CMSS-3D so your system doesn't lock up. You don't have to mess with the CMSS-3D settings but make sure it is enable or you will lock the system up. Try it, turn on Bass Boost then go into control panel > Ease Of Use > Ease Of Use and if CMSS-3D is not enabled the system will hard lock. I'm down to updating express gate, the latest p4g hybrid and the ATI 10.6 reference drivers. I will post my pictures after that

Agreed and this 3D trend is way over hyped

Hello, can you be more specific as your question is rather vague and doesn't make any sense Please elaborate further so we can assist you

If you didn't uninstall the creative software that came with the laptop, you can use the mixer from creative to individually control the output from the speakers & sub-woofer.

Yes, should be able if you pass her all the details for your parcel like shipping number etc, etc. Check with Poslaju to confirm and what are the requirements. I think they should release the parcel to her if she has the tracking number and a photocopy of your IC.

The creative software is already pre-installed with your notebook and can be found on your taskbar for active programs (Bottom Right Icons). If by chance you have uninstalled the creative stuff you can reinstall it using the Asus Driver CD that came with your notebook.

Lack of knowledge and the drive of human greed

You need to enable CMSS-3D if you want to use Bass Boost or some applications will cause the notebook to hard lock

Did you check with your bank this week? Something might be off with the branch you used. I wired transferred Ken on a Friday and he got the funds on Monday, that's just two working days (Saturday & Sunday not counted because not working days).
