I honestly think the plastic sheets are a red herring completely.
Nope. The deformation perfectly shows, that the internal heat has been causing this, as the hot air was blown out of the casing and hence causing this type of deformation. The logos are not in an area where any air circulation happens but the sides between the screws are. Your theory for external impact due to move and such surely would have caused such random effects and on logos as well. The type of damage you see here, being consistent on all machines, shows that the hot air was taking its way all from inside to outside, going through the slits between the screws and hence deforming the shielding.
The airflow in the S5 is crossways from the fan, internally. The plastic shielding does not touch or enclose the S5 circuit boards at any point. Are you certain you aren't confusing an S5 and with an S3? Because an S3 was metal and fully enclosed.
Here, let me help.

http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v1/60145139694_1/New_model_ANTMINER_Ant_Miner_S5_1155.jpgNo hot air would have been trying to go "from inside to outside, going through the slits between the screws" when it can just go up or down through large openings. More likely the thing you are pointing at affecting 5 of the 8(and we likely are only seeing the worst) plastic ones combined picked up conductive heat from the metal frame, which would be much closer to the temperatures of the circuit boards/chips, and definitely hotter than ambient air.
Since the deformation temperature of plastic is less than 49C, and many miners I have seen operate without such failure rates at up to 57C, deformed plastic that was adjacent to the hot metal frame means absolutely nothing of relevance except that the metal itself, but not the ambient air, must have been higher than 41-49C.
That said, if a customer hasn't paid their bills, they can't retrieve their equipment. Hosters have big electricity bills and other bills to pay, none of whom give a damn if your customers haven't paid their bills. And clearly your hardware did run up its portion of an electricity bill, ...
If you are implying, i did not pay my bill, you are in the wrong again. I payed them 4661 USD for service and energy upfront for a month.
You made a blanket statement; my blanket response wasn't intended to be about you personally. Regardless of that, Asicspace did get screwed over a few weeks beforehand by a customer who did not pay their bill.
Listen to other customers here. I have been contacted by a dozen, whom machines do not answer any longer and who only can see and get a couple of them working again.
Not saying they don't have other complaints or other issues. I know they do. But that doesn't indicate heat damage directly, as there are many ways a miner can fail. And yes, I'm aware that they have other heat complaints, but so far as I know no other heat-damage complaints.
All I can tell you is, that ASICSPACE is being run by a bunch of criminals. Maybe you know them, maybe they are not longer the people you once knew.
Today, all that they are is a bunch of crooks with highly criminal intent.
As far as I can tell, nothing even you have accused them of is against the law. This is a civil and customer service matter, so stop acting like they are some kind of gangbangers.
Asicspace isn't perfect, no one is. I know they do not have any intentions to scam anyone.
I expect, that I will never see any dime from them. But I will make sure, that they pay the bill.
So basically, you aren't interested in the truth of what happened, you are just angry and vindictive and want to hurt Asicspace in either reputation or with vague legal threats?
Who has the worse intent, Asicspace who may have blundered(both cooling, network, and customer service) but may not be 100% to blame, or you who wants to see them burn regardless of the facts?
