nice work there!

DUR0N 18th August 2002 09:08

well, urm ... you could make this yourself with a simple relais. Wont cost you much and if you're carfully, anyone can do this.

Gamer 18th August 2002 09:53

Nice RB.

what's your next review :)

TeuS 18th August 2002 10:05

good review
fair of you saying it was expensive, the melvine stuff is really much more expensive then anthroplast make's em

eg: 18€ melvine<=>+-10 anthro

RichBa5tard 18th August 2002 11:36

Thanks guys. :)

@duron: true, true. I did mention this in the article: "if you know your way around electronics, you can make it yourself...". Good workmanship though. :)

I think Melvine.be makes quality stuff, and their prices will probably drop once they start selling it in larger quantities. :)

@gamer: either the melvine rheobus or the HDD led indicator. I don't know yet. I'm making them on a slow rate though, I've got exams. ETA next article ~ next sunday.

i just took a 'kattekop' (dunnow the english) whith a switch on it, pump and cpu in that thing, and you can turn everything off safely.

RichBa5tard 18th August 2002 15:42

@jakkerd: i know, but the price between a "kattekop" and the eswitch is small, and i rather just flip 1 switch instead of 2. :)

@ TeuS: the difference in price between melvine products and those made by anthro is due to the fact that you have to pay a lot of taxes as a firm. Also, it's not just as a hobby then, you have to make profit, otherwise you won't survive...

Also don't forget the profit of the dealers, which is quite a lot!


@ RichBa5tard: thx voor the nice review :)

(BTW, yes, I'm that dude from melvine.be :D )

Well, I'm afraid prices won't drop below the price of making it yourself, at least not without touching quality... and quality is most important for us.

We could also have placed a plain old relais in this kit, that would have been cheaper. However, a relais is a mechanical part, which might fail... and you don't want your waterpump to fail, do you? :) So we chose a better, but more expensive solution...

they sure are high quality! :super: craftsmanship!

BlackRabbit 18th August 2002 20:12

Very nice rev!

RichBa5tard 19th August 2002 06:10

Kewl, it has been on [H]! And it's just a dull switch! :^D

@jmke: stop sucking up to our sponsors. :p
