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!

" However, we have done all preliminary calculations possible right now and due to our design focused on quality including:

-8 layer PCBs

-heatpipe heatsinks

-aluminium case

-included power supply

-long life 4 wire 5000 RPM fans

-genuine parts (capacitors, resistors, mosfets, inductors etc)

-capacitors that cannot not explode "

Do us a favour and open it up and see which of the massively high quality component that justify black arrow shafting us has failed within the psu/miner?

I think what I would do as well is check every other electrical item in your house and see if it has done any damage to other gear you own.
Also, I wouldn't open it up, id get a certified electrician to open it and give a detailed report in writing.
You might need that sort of proof if you want to claim anything from these assholes.
Just my opinion of course.

Right, because paying a certified electrician to make a detailed report on a now virtually worthless mining device makes a lot of sense? Roll Eyes
