Good news. I just wanted to make sure it was operating normally. I didn't want to leave it on and burn the compressor up.

nothing to worry about Chuch, they should operate pretty warm, just try to keep the air flowing around it.

Chuchnit, I've left the cascade head on for a while now, about 8 startups/shutdowns without removing. Just need to insulate well.

Alright guys I have a little update. One of those good new/bad news situations. My unit was damaged very slightly during shipping. Whatever it is that comes out of the compressor and turns into the suction line must be dented a little or something. When I unboxed the unit, I noticed the insulation looked like it had rubbed up against the box during transit. The unit was actually packed very nice, but the poor boxes looked like they had seen better days. The unit will run, but it just don't hold the temps like it should. It will actually settle to -35/36c with a stock 920 under it after running a while. My guess is flow is interupted somehow??

Now to the good news. I have been in contact with Runmc from day one. Of course with my schedule it was over a week I guess before I really got to test it. Either way, Runmc is in the process, and is 50% done with my replacement unit. As we stand right now, we are waiting for UPS's reponse to paying for the damges and shipping back to him. They got a few days more though since the unit probably won't be done till the end of the week. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. So far Runmc has been very fair and honest with me, and I am trying to do the same by being patient. As of right now I give him a thumbsup in the customer service department. I'll be sure to update you guys fully with pictures when I get the replacement.

Top notch customer service gets rewarded with more work. Good luck with the new unit.
