I would be wiling to bet that many people are still going to jump on this host. They are just not available but from only two vendors. After many seeing what Dale and company keeps accomplishing with X6 many are going to want a host just to modify the hell out of and play with.
Funny how at the beginning of the GB many were screaming host, host, host and willing to spend the $15 on it. :) I am betting that many of them, and even more that purchased complete X6-SE's are going to buy them.
Host kit…and some of those triple or quad DTP boards…booyah!
Very very very nice and sub $20…I see many a special build with these in the near future…heck just the basics will make it one heck of a good daily driver!
and to the guy making the custom heatsinks…I’m in for at least 1, maybe 2!
While it’s not in the other pictures or the component list, the final picture shows a switch boot. Can you confirm that a switch boot is included? Thanks for posting this kronological!
Ok, I got the host kit in and I am VERY unhappy. This is how it was packaged:
Everything tossed loose in a bag, the whole thing was rattling inside the package wen I picked it up from the postman. Just watch the reflector directly in contact with the clip and you know what I mean :Angry:
This was the content of the package. NO LENS IS INCLUDED AT ALL!!! And note just one little screw, why would that be?
Ah, one screw is because there's just one screwhole (???????????) And look at that reflector! The X6 has one of the best reflectors I have ever seen, unless of course if it is scratched like this :Angry:
Banggood, I know that this was not an expensive host, but you ruined it before shipping: get your packaging sorted!!!!!
Soooo, now on to getting the replacement done, contact BG, get them to understand my problem, try again, and again, reject their proposed solution because it is way insufficient, etc., etc., etc., :Tired:
