    I came across this website a while back. I have to admit, this site is WONDERFUL! It's new so give it time. But I assure you, their service is great! I hope the mods don't mind this. I figured since this is a modding forum, it would be a good thing to give the modders here a new website to check out. Anyways, they have some unique products that are very much worth checking out. I'll give you a hint, tubing and water cpu blocks. :rock:

    All they are missing is a "Clearance" items category. Cuz thats all I look at at FrozenCPU anymore. They're pretty expensive.

    Hi Guys..

    This is Michael from ArcticMOD.. I founded the site. Just wanted to say thank you for posting about the site here.. was very kind of you all. ArcticMOD is a brand new company.. but we are growing fast. I actually have hundreds of products going up over the next few months. It is a gradual process for me getting everything online.. but I can tell you that I have lots of amazing stuff.. some of it never before seen... and I am placing products on the site every night. I've been a modder for many years.. and I love unique products.. especially in liquid cooling.. so I am going to try and bring a lot of unique new products to the market for everyone to enjoy. Just stick by us.. keep checking back and you won't be dissapointed. :cooldude:

    Speaking of a clearance section.. don't worry.. it is comming soon. In fact there are many new site features on the horzizon, including product reviews, product voting, a new products section as well as a clearance section. We are doing it all.. so no worries. Right now the name of the game is products.. and I want to get as many of them up as quickly as possible.

    With this said.. I would be happy to answer any other questions about the site in here. Thanks for all your support.. it is very much appreciated! :D

    Sincerely,

    ~Michael

    Site looks good Michael! I especially like the categories on the side, and their little icons, it's a nice clean interface!
    Just wondering, what is the shipping like? Where are you located at?

    Will there be a product request section if there is something in particular that we are looking for?

    Just a thought, the Zalman MFC-1 is 54.99 on your site, on newegg its 25 and 30 with shipping I think... maybe that price is a bit steep?

    Raziekiel... Thanks for the compliment.. I had a lot of fun being creative with my menu and its icons.. it was a challange to come up with symbols that really matched the categories. Regarding shipping.. We are located in New Jersey and use FedEx for all of our shipping. My rates within the U.S. are quite good.. and every order is packed and shipped out the same day it is received. We also are shipping internationally using FedEx International Priority and Economy services. I have made it a point to ensure every order ships at expediantly, and that our rates are fair. :thumb:

    HourBeforeDawn... Thank you also for the compliment... I worked very hard to make ArcticMOD look and work awsome.. and really this is just the beginning in the way of features. Right now there is not a specific product request section.. but if you are looking for anything in particular.. chances are I already have it in stock or I can obtain it for you. The best thing to do would be just to email me.. I am always looking for product suggestions and would be happy to help anyone on a specific request. One thing I will say is that I have a lot of products going up over the next few months.. its a lot of work putting it all online.. but if you keep checking back you will see new items each time.

    Customh... Thank you for making me aware of the Zalman MFC-1.. what happened here is the price on this dropped since I originally purchased my stock. I am sure you can appreciate that it is tough to compete with someone as large as New Egg.. they probably bought hundreds of these units.. and got a much cheaper price then I was able to. Still.. my price was way to high on this.. and I have lowered it to be more competitive.. I brought it down to $34.95.. which is the cheapest I could do considering my cost on it. I am always trying to remain competitive on my parts.. and in fact I check out pricing with all my competitors before I price an item.. and I do my best to keep things as affordable as possible. I appreciate that you told me about this.. thank you.. cause I was able to fix it. Prices are not in stone.. so if you ever see something that really is overpriced.. just let me know where you saw it cheaper.. and I will do my best to match or beat it. :)

    Mother-Gooser... Actually, we are shipping internationaly right now! :D We use FedEx International Economy and International Priority services. I am beginning to realize that the fact we ship internationaly is not yet apparent on the site.. but I will take care of this by posting a section about it in the "Help Console" section which is currently being developed.

    Shipping internationaly is very simple.. when you checkout, simply enter in your international address, and the cart will automatically give you international shipping options and rates. If you have any problem whatsoever with the international shipping on my site.. please let me know.. but it should work just fine.

    Hope this helps! :thumb:

    ShowFire, thanks for the tip. For future reference, we have a PC watercooling shop list in Extreme Cooling that you can have any new finds and recommendations added to. :thumb:

    ILLUMINICE, thanks for dropping by. We like to encourage good relations between shops and customers but you'll understand that there is a thin line between customer relations and advertising, and that's where we have to draw the line (not for people like you, but because of blatant pimps who are more exploitative). If people have specific questions, I am sure that they can either PM you here, or e-mail you at your shop. However, please feel free to stay around and talk with people to share your experiences and get a better feel as to what the market is looking for.
