down to what it's all about -- nothing left to say ...

supejb, my dear !

eleet electronix :D

nice work there!

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

Nice RB.

what's your next review :)

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

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.

euhm, ik zie hier twee posts van persons op mijn ignore list...
ik wist niet dat ik hier een ignore list had...

nice work, and that while studying...

unregistred user posts automatisch op ignore.. weird.. ben opties al aan het afschuimen geweest, niet direct een oplossing gevonden

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.

@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 )

I know, don't tell me (my father has a shop)

i hope prices wil drop soon, ppl will rather buy one at your's if the price wouldn't be that more then you would make it yourself

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!

Very nice rev!

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

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

this problem has now been fixed by "hacking" the functions.php file of the vb forum
