Zeus didn't have the fire issues. That was mostly the KnC Neptune and to a lesser degree the Titans, though the Titans involved seemed to usually be overclocked to achieve fire and major meltdown.

 I'm not in the market for ANY current scrypt miner - got nice reliable A2s already.
 Some issues with Zoomhash when I bought them, but the issues have been very nicely resolved.

Everyone says cpu and gpu mining is almost over. Then what is the best hardware to mine altcoins? And talso tell me which algos are minable with those hardware like quark, ethereum and others.

KNCMiner Titan any scrypt
The zeus models weren't too bad either, No other algos are mine able except scrypt and SHA. The rest are ASIC resistant

Didn't Zues models catch shit on fire? Titans can also mine scrypt-N...If vertcoin is still profitable is another question.

PM if you're in the market for Titans.

More that the others are too small a market for anyone to have ever bothered making an ASIC for them (though X11/X13/X15 had a company called Cleverhash doing development work on such a miner, they apparently never got the funding to finalise and produce their design).

 For SHA256 and Scrypt, ASIC are the ONLY viable options.

 For everything else, GPU mining should still be viable, though it won't be big profit at best.

 The Zeus models, when they finally showed up, were INFERIOR to the Innosilicon A2 by quite a bit - and didn't stack up any better vs the Alcheminer or KnC Titan when those showed up.
 There's a reason Zeus folded it's "making miners" tent, they flat out couldn't compete effectively enough to sell enough product to make back their development costs (though they got tapped by Innosilicon to produce some A2-based hardware for a while).
