Wondering if anyone knows how reliable these machines are.
I'm looking at purchasing a new one through kaboomracks and have heard many horror stories about the S17's - are these ones supposed to be much better?
Hello, Satseed
I'm Peace from Unistar.
About the s17'S horror stories, it's mostly because the Heat-sink drop causes the chips to burn. (S17's divided heat-sink many small pieces)
And now the S19 Pro's Heat-sink is updated to a whole unit; it's very solid on the board and will solve this problem. And the quality and design process has been improved compared to the S17's.
And Philipma 1957 is right; you can buy 3 with spare control board and spare PSU, and we have a cooperation repair shop in the US that can help.
And we have 500 odd units of S19 Pro 104T in China: 3 units would be $32931, including shipping cost and custom duties to the US.
Spare control board: $154.6/unit
Spare PSU: $251/unit
