Curios, what are the review of the 1041 now that we are a year into the original post?
I like them. Only thing against the 1041 is that Canaan so far has not released an update for it to use 3 pools & have More Options entry box like they did for the 1047 on up.
Very occasionally the 10xx series may have an issue connecting to some routers, not sure why but a reboot of the router seems to take care of it.
