Same for me, I pretty much camp the door if I'm at home.

If I'm at work I'm always mailing or phoning my other half to make sure.

What case did you buy from Gilgamesh Wayne?

I'm totally bored of my 900, been looking around for a new one & I sort of like the Cosmos or maybe one of those fractal design ones.

Fleabay here I come......more door camping :D

He did me a great deal on the Thermaltake Element G he had, i got it for £43 delivered.

Good airflow? or rather how good is the airflow compared to a 900?

I really hate this case now, the design for wiring & the sheer amount of dust it draws coupled with 0 noise blocking has done it for me.

It has good wiring and noise dampening, the airflow is pants with stock fans. you really need to replace them

Yea, i wait looking, listening!! Drives me mental! I do leave a note for the driver if i have to pop out to leave delivery with a neighbour (Awesome neighbours).

What i hate is waiting all day and the git decides not to deliver!! I then have to drive to the 'City Link' depot to pick up the parcel. Happened a few times now!

I wait near the door/window as I've experienced in the past from couriers that I have been 'carded' but I've got no card, nor anyone even coming to my house.

Annoying when that happens.

Don't wait by the door at all, no point as my flat at uni has an awesomeloud buzzer on the intercom. I buy almost everything online except my weekly groceries (which I used to get online!).

When I'm at home we have a fairly loud doorbell, so providing the driver sees that, it should be fine. Surprising how often they don't ring it though and just knock.

I'm usually asleep when my stuff gets delivered although as of late I am usually buzzing at 8 in the morning as I can't wait to get my new toys :rolleyes:

Did he do what my postmen sometimes do, and wrestle with it until it fits through.

That reminded me of something I used to do when I was a kid. (13/14)

I'd hide behind the door when I knew the postman was due an start pulling at the post and bark like a dog. Was funny watching the postman run back up the path :D

Been up early today to catch a delivery, still waiting! Pah, could have had that lie in after all.

tystar, your story is quite incredible. You actually acted like a dog when the post came through? Was this just once or many times? Did you bring the paper in your mouth to your parents too?

Our postman has had to contend with our unusually small letterbox for years now. Everything (I mean everything) comes through bent in two. Fortunately we recently got a new postbox, problem solved (only took a decade of living here!). The postie also sometimes leaves DVDs and similar items on the doorstep! I had two blu rays on my doorstep for around 3 days without realising the were there as they were tucked around the side, honestly. Glad they weren't stolen as people have nicked stuff off the doorstep before, from buckets (no idea why) to beer (obvious reason why).
