I can say this much. The actual process is not as smooth as it looked. Yet,
the gentleman behind the scene simply sorted them out. Even better, there
was no finger pointing (which is all over in where I work!!). Everyone worked
together for the best solution/compromise even though the cost ended up in
our own wallet. Also, it is just human nature. We tend to use whatever worked
before. So, participants can help us a bit to accommodate the process we feel
comfortable with.

Needless to say, we never feel done until the parts reach the end user's hands
safely. Look at the long journey of the resistors and the mosfets GB's!! Hopefully,
the case and the heat sink will be done soon.
There have been a half dozen F5X GB threads that I have been tracking for the past year. Just keeping track of all the group buys has been exhausting, so I can only imagine the work involved for the people running them (purchasing, matching, collecting payments, shipping, etc). I for one am very grateful for all involved, especially Patrick considering that this endeavor has actually cost him money in addition to the time spent.

Started a thread for discussion of the case. I've posted some assembly guidelines that I hope are helpful. Check it out (lots of photos)!

Hey, Mark..... I got your 'tap on the shoulder" this AM. My apologies--I'm moving homes and did not see your earlier posting. PayPal sent this AM.

Please see my PM to you, to confirm you have my current (new) home address.
