A lot of practical information here, about the DIY option. I've been looking into this for a while. I knew Atiz was coming out with a smaller unit, at a more reasonable price. nearly $1600 is not cheap, but for a pre-built solution, it looks attractive ... the previous version was not only huge, but was nearer $4500. ereszet ... As someone with realworld experience, with building your own, and with the issues you've had to overcome, I'd be interested in your opinion of the product (obviously, there's only so much you can tell from the ATIZ website, without actually having a unit). For myself, as much as I like a DIY project, my time and patience is in limited supply currently, and the pricetag has finally come in to a very acceptable range ... regardless of the laughter from some who will no doubt call it a ripoff.
