For me that seems like a pretty decent price break.
Understood. I tend to push sometimes to extricate blood out of stones. That is me though. It is understood that they have to make monies.
Yeah here have ventured out of mainland China (virtually) and still staying in the Pacific Rim.
Shipping and monies has always been an issue or concern. I am not writing about this in a negative sense; rather that is the way it is type sense. It is always their money and their bank rules that get in the way of global stuff. Historically most reasonable shipping is using conventional shipping from China Post to US Post and it is fast versus anything else. There has been a push here of re shippers and that has caused delays here of up to a month which sucks.
I tested a new 8 drive NAS case a few years back and did the DIY on Serve The Home with pictures. It was only an 8 drive hot swap drive case that was hard to find and build. I didn't get really specific with the price and the shipping cost because the vendor had agreed to ship it to me almost gratis and sell me the product more to check it out than to sell it here (such that the price was OK). That and it did cost me to a la carte the device (power supply, memory, 4TB drives, LSi card et al - one piece at a time didn't really seem that expensive.)
I did get a nice price (under $100) for an almost barebones motherboard / CPU (no memory or mSATA or m.2Sata) for a J1900 with is old news now. The back and forth chatting did include much dialog but no mention of AES-IN; just PFSense every other sentence.
I may consider making my own for a similar 4 port box.
There have been other folks here on the Homeseer forum that that have done similar but just gone to Amazon and purchase the product via Amazon Prime.
Yeah here just going baby steps as I am doing this endeavor mostly pro bono and I already have a PFSense firewall with all of the bells and whistles. I just want something smaller than I can fit inside of my telco media can (Managed network, POE network, modem, power supply, punch panel, telephone managment, telephone VOIP such that the add of a firewall would be nice for my LAN (and WAN and Telco)) in a can solution (big at a Leviton 42" can and getting crowded a bit).
