Bobsag,

Can you tell me when order #1429 will ship? I spoke with you by phone on the 14th, and you said it should ship by Friday. I have seen no sign of any activity on my order.

thanks

BA haven't even moved on the #800-series orders yet, so don't hold your breath.

A little excitement today.

Go my 2nd X-1 in the mail.

Pulled it out of the box and set it up on my desk plugged the cable into the back of the unit and then into the powerstrip. There was a thunderous electrical crackle and spark and the room went dark.

Looks like the power supply died and popped the circuit breaker along with it.

This is the first piece of electrical equipment I have had die straight out of the box that I can remember. It sure does smell bad!

No surprise there. Probably the cheapest, shittiest power supplies from Lucky Golden Rabbit Electric Co., Ltd or whatever it was. Back in February they asked the PSU suppliers to reduce the physical size of the unit, trimming the safety margins on a unit that, like so much other turfed out from China, probably had no margins to start with.

Ordered in November, it's July. They're taking the piss to a whole new level.
