    I ordered the 72 LED kit without heatsinks on the 20th. It's awaiting confirmation or something.

    What sized u-channel is best for making the heatsinks? Were is the best place to buy it? Also, what sized fan should I use to cool it? It's going to be a single heatsink about 36" x 12".

    Cool site for the 72 DIY LED kit and the 7.1"x15.8" black heatsink it'll be only $212 total with only 47 of it in shipping.

    May end up getting mine there.

    You sure you had fast responses? I paid Monday around 9am and heard from him Tuesday around 4:30 pm. I responded immediately but haven't heard from Ray in two days. I'm starting to get a little worried...

    Ok, so he just responded and my heat sinks are out of stock and will be in stock in two days but he'll send a tracking number when it ships.

    Stay tuned!!!

    I've been dealing with Ray for a couple weeks. He answers my emails within 24 hours. Very friendly guy as well. I look forward to when I can get the kit I want.

    Not yet, the out-of stock heatsinks were supposed to have come in this past weekend so hopefully he'll ship out my order today.

    I'll post back once I hear from him. I wouldn't give up yet if you want to save some money, I told him the communication was something of a concern so hopefully he'll step up and once I get the order I'll post pictures and maybe you can decide then.
