    The only issue I've ever had with the S2 was when I accidentally tore up one of the fans at the tail-end of a 16-hour shift getting stuff ready so I could leave for a week over Thanksgiving. I didn't have time to fix it and it shut off for overheating on the one end. Once I put a fresh fan in it, it lit right back up. The thing's been running spot-on with almost zero crash/downtime since... July? Might have been June I fetched it.

    I have no complaints about the Tube, as far as hardware reliability (though of the 30-odd in my care for hosting, I started with 5 DOA boards and two of them did smoke VRM controllers, which was an easy fix) - the crap about them is the BE controllers. Of course the 11 Prismas in my care for hosting also haven't had any hardware problems yet, but that may be a statistical aberration? The Prismas sucked balls on BE controllers, but for the most part behave on USB adapters.

    In any case, philipma, I look forward to reading your test results. I also look forward to the engineers getting back with some answers. I'm apparently a businessman these days, but I'm actually an engineer and one conversation with good numbers means a lot more than any amount of hard-sell.
