waiting for the parts...

Written by Erik Brakkee

Great news, after spending 5 freakin' days in customs, my Seritek/2EN2 storage enclosure finally passed through customs. Makes you wonder what the hell they do with all those packages in customs. Anyway, now the package is a free citizin with an unlimited residence permit for the Netherlands. Not even Rita can expel it now! It should arrive within the next two days. Also, a great surprise today as I received two mails from ASUS about the N4L-VM motherboard. One saying that using a PCIe x4 card inside the PCIe x16 slot would work and one other saying it wouldn't.  So, I sent another mail confronting them with this contradiction. Now it's back to waiting again. If it turns out not to work I might have to cancel the order for the RAID card, or perhaps by that time it's too late. And as for the parts I ordered from alternate, still no confirmation that payment has arrived. So its back to waiting again. Also, I ordered another pair of 400GB Maxtor disks to complete the disk array.
