Will We Get 4000 Cases Or Just 1000 From The Factory.

[Wrath Of Khan]

Will the chinese factory supply the initial 4000,before we change to another manufacturer?
Do we know for sure that the molds are iron and not aluminium.They lied about everything else.

 

[craigix]

10,000.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

10,000.

Thanks craigix.Hope it all works out.Good to know.

 

[borgqueenx]

10,000.

That will be the first batch?
Or Is that the total of all pandora's?

I heard you guys would only make 1000, and the other 3000 later.
But im not reading these forums alot anymore.

 

[gruso]

1,000 are being shipped out of China soon™. They'll get a quality check, then the rest (9,000 I assume) will be made.

More detailed (but all unofficial) info in this thread: http://www.gp32x.de...-all-the-parts/

They already payed for 10K Cases I guess, so of course they have to take all the 10.000 cases until they can switch to another factory.
I wonder how long it will take to find another Moulding company and then testing their quality, testing again...more test samples and so on until they are able to produce the Cases in at least the same Quality like the cinese Company did.

For gods sake man ... ain't OP better to put these datials on the main page along with some fresh new dates (not the food kind) tho the food kind would be more trusting hehe (indiana jones springs to mind) some facts would save the constant reply with the same answer.

So as far as i understand it ,1000 was the order for the case company ,the first 1000 are complete and need to be shipped ,if OPT are happy with those they will give the go ahead for the remaining 9000 cases ,after that OPT will use a different case company in the future but this may or may not be the (case) i would imagine if once the first 1000 come out good and the remaining cases are manafactured and shipped in good time then OPT would be a happy customer no ?

Yeah, would - if I had the time. Had two hours of sleep tonight, I can't give those two hours up... I'll update everything when I got a bit more time.

Need to sleep or your hair starts falling out

Just out of curiosity, still that busy with Pandora? One would think that with the current delay you'd be able to get some extra sleep and energy before all hell breaks loose when the cases arrive.

How do you do that? if I get less than 5 hours of sleep a night I'm not able to function the next day.

Poor ED.
Please, get some sleep, it seems to me like you feel you have to punish yourself or something. That's not necessary. Nobody is served when you eventually collapse from exhaustion (and you will if you keep this up). We all know it's not your fault and that the whole Pandora team is doing everything in their power. You're doing even more than that, and this is not healthy for you.

You have to learn to say no to some of the more outrageous requests made on these forums. I know you are such an incredibly nice guy that you try to please everyone, but if it's seriously starting to affect your health (and I can't see how two hours sleep can be positive to your health) you will have to stop doing that.

I'm genuinely worried, wish I could help somehow except telling you to get some real sleep and ignore the whining for a little while. It's not worth it to ruin your health over this.

I will support you guys with whatever you do and decide, don't let it get to you!

I second this. Be careful, alright, ED?

No worries. We have to get through this, it's not too far away now. We can get a lot more sleep once we delivered.
Yes, there is still a lot to do Pandorawise.
First, I'm working on a user manual for the Wiki which explains basic stuff of our OS (including some info what we included that's not in each Linux distro, i.e. how the bootup process works, etc.).
I also have to do more in my normal day job, as I want to help assembling the Pandora as much as possible - and that means I have to work more than usual so I can get a few days off here.

I'm also busy moving the sites to the new server... yeah, tons of things to do

Fatih, Craig and Michael are also quite busy. Trying to get the Chinese factory to finish and ship (no easy task...), looking for alternatives for future case and board production, preparing the assembly hall, etc.

It's a lot of stress at the moment, but once we shipped, things will become waaaay better

I'm sorry...
The case factory is not FINISHED YET?!

How is that possible?
I mean, I remember the whole "Get it done before chinese new year thing," and things went awry.
But what about "We would have shipped them except for that volcano" thing?
How did they get an extra 10 days courtesy mother earth herself, and STILL not be finished?
How is that ACTUALLY possible?

Is there any evidence that they've made more than, let's say, 15?

It sounds to me that they've made about 1000, but of course that is not "finished" (over 9000 more to make)

This is why internships are invented. I know some german Firms that only can exist because they let do all the work by interns. Bosses go early at home and leave everything to interns.

I hope you leave some stuff at the old servers, so we don't loose every forum or Pandora site, when the server gets down.

I really want to read the conversations with the Cinese Company and their last excuses not to prepare everything during the weeks of Volcano-caused UPS Chaos.

Good idea ist to transfer the stress to the chinese Factory, they deserve it.

 

[j.pickens]

I hope some of the 10,000 cases will be ordered without the paint job.
OP could make some nice extra cash by selling the raw cases to modders.
I'd suggest $80 for an unpainted extra case. I'd pay that in a second.

Good luck, and let us know as soon as the courier picks up the first case batch.

 

[droneb]

MEN! 80 bucks is an insane price!!

i would buy one if they dont release it at such a price.

 

[puppydee]

If the case factory had actually finished the first 1000 cases they'd be shouting it from the roof tops and falling over themselves to get them shipped, let's face it they would wouldn't they? so I can only imagine they're stalling for yet more time, it doesn't make sense otherwise. Either way I dam hope they pull there finger out and get the bloody things sorted.

I see no reason why they would.
