After the drama was over, to conversation turned to tekins wonderful customer service & whether or not he would get a gen 2 back or a gen 1.

So, if he sends it in, maybe under warranty, maybe not, I don't recall how long it had been since he bought it, will he get a gen 2 or a gen 1 as a replacement?
My friend had his RX8 in for service starting a few months ago and just recently got it back. It was a black case with black heatsink... not sure what to make of it lol. Gen2 inside a black case? Gen1 with black heatsink?? Maybe i'll see if he'll let me hook it up to my hotwire.
