Hi, would really appreciate it if someone could send me Mr Ong or Mr Quek's contact number. Thanks!

Hey Jeff, Sorry to hear that you have an unpleasant experience with them. True that they are VERY busy but its becoz they are so popular. Last time i had to wait almost a month to even meet Dave (who i requested for). Also, the lack or curt replies etc. I think a lot of ppl might be put off with that, but i wasn't. In the end, though they are so busy, once they agree to do your project, they commit fully to it, thus why they are so busy. The 50% thing he told me right from the start and also i read on the forums b4 i went so i knew. To me it is ok becoz if i dun trust my ID then i just dun want to work with them even with a lower deposit. It has been almost 3 years since they did up my home, all this while i have been very satisfied with the workmanship and durability of the things they did. Dave's words, though i did not agree at that time, i find are more and more true the longer i stay. I feel that getting along with your ID is a very important thing becoz of the communication to what your needs are etc. So if you don't feel comfortable, like DSC bro said, better to get someone else. Try not to let this get to you la, have a good reno bro!

i'm not getting those water cooled ones...tried them already but as you said, they were useless. The one im thinking of getting uses R-410A coolant to make the air cooler. You can see it here.

Ok its been quite a long time and after tons of research, im still back at square one. Seems like it needs the april heatwave to motivate me to continue this project...heh Will be buying 1 EPAC14j (14k BTU) to aircon my hall. As my hall is big, nearly 400sq ft, i'm going to partition the hall into half and modify my casement windows to fit the exhaust vent. They said though stated cooling size is 150 sq ft, it can go up to 180 sq ft. Don't think its enough though (mine is 200 sq ft) but im all out of options...the price didn't drop after all this time as well. Ill let you all know if it works...its seriously too hot now... Tried buying those water cooled ones turn it on full blast in front of me and its still too hot (even with ice box in).

ok thanks, i'll go look for it. ya, i already lost 1 card...had to re-register all.

COOL MAN! I also have psp and ps3 but never thought of getting the PS eye to hook up like this.. I like your solution to the 'not locking gate' issue, where you get your yale alarm from? How u know when a card can work with the lock or not...i know the UOB One card also can. Any other cards?

power i paid about $600 incl. installation 3 months ago...dun have the cool remote function. so far im v.happy the lock, everyday i come home i feel good when i use - i still lock my metal gate but sometimes for 'short trips' out i just use the lock alone and dun bring keys (shiok feeling). still wondering abt the security issue of it all...dunno if really have to buy another lock for the gate

hmmm lol i did go there but forgot to check out the aircon...will do so soon. I can't add another unit to my system 3 unless i upgrade the whole compressor to system 4 hai....in hindsight, should have done that all the way from the start during reno - but no idea the hall will be so hot. so im back to buying a portable aircon again... checked with aircon people and no way i can install those casement type aircon on my window so those options are out...only ones for me are the standing ones.

hmm thanks for the heads up - i'll pop by to check it out later (i work nearby). I think may be a big problem for me as my windows are casement windows...dun see how they can mount it.

thanks for sharing...together with you, everyone has been telling me bad things about these portable aircons exactly like how u said it. so i really don't want to get them anymore (unless really no choice). will talk to my aircon people and see if they can add another unit to my system 3 - the most i have to make sure i dun turn on all at one time.

Im thinking of getting one as well...looking at the Eurpace EPAC 14J selling at $1k at Courts (website here). My living room is just too hot to stand and i can't install anymore compressors as I am in an old resale flat. Still researching and looking around, not sure if its powerful enough to cool my living room (5 rm flat)... Anyone have any experience with this?

You can just go to their website contact page: http://www.intradesign.com.sg/contact.htm All of their numbers are there incl. mobile.

ya last time my reno was much above my budget also...impt that u understand why the cost is like that so u can see if you are comfortable paying or some things u can do without. it was good that i can communicate well with my ID so i was sure about what i was getting...as long as you talk things out, things can be worked out one

heehee, i also used Dave more than a year ago - glad to say that im still very happy with my place After 1 year, he still helps me out with stuff and is just as responsive as ever, v.gd after sales service.

thanks for your input tingshen, i am now completely convinced not to even consider getting it locally and my faith in ebay has increased a lot haha, hansolo i like the way u think - i shall use that way of thinking too however im having some problems with actually buying the roomba - the 2 ppl i found on ebay ask to contact them should you want international delivery. I tried contacting one and was rejected coz my buyer rating is 0 and the other one never reply me :/ seems like we have quite a few people here all wanting to get one - is there some way we can consolidate or something like Gaara is suggesting?
