does 1721 seems like a good deal to get a potentially buckled, crippled miner with awful support & 'more virtual coupons' if your rig is a lemon?
There's always the risk of damage in transit regardless of the vendor, but my last S2 made it to FL in perfect shape in 3 days. Bitmain has always responded to my emails so I can't complain. What rig would you suggest instead?
Actually these rigs can run ok with better PSU and adequate safety precautions (metal plate - missing on mine, foam strip -missing on mine)
the broken blade was replaced but the rig was already 10 days late and we are talking about shipping from china to thailand, a 4-5 hr flight.
this rig (with the additional capacitors) is now running as expected albeit with random power downs that require PSU manipulation to rectify temporarily.
Batch 3 rig with no additional caps is running fine over 1 TH with OCZ 1000w PSU - NO RANDOM POWER DOWNS
Batch 4 rig rarely sees above 960GH/s - enermax1000w PSU, same random power downs.
Compensation whilst NOT expected NOR demanded was offered - and accepted, since then NO compensation has materialised so why offer???
when called on to explain, more BS virtual coupons are offered, but who in their right mind would accept coupons that are given away by the dozen as reasonable compensation??
if ANY of you ask for coupons they will be given - so HOW is that compensation for losses incurred due to;
1 - late shipping
2 - damaged hardware
3 - back to front RMA procedure
4 - shoddy workmanship
5 - awful support
