I'll be happy to test that out.

Not willing to risk this one myself - gonna buy the real thing - this could potentially be locked out by updates etc from Pangolin.

Ya gotta consider that when you get a pricelist from Goldenstar, the real deal is only ~$150 more. This thing probably wont let you get into the showspace site that Pangolin has, so yeah. Not worth $300. And not worth the risk.

i would never encourage buying pirated and software. especially in this fringe market industry. pangolin has a reputation for excellent support. i doubt you'd see that from some anonymous company half way around the world.

Even if it were $100 I wouldnt buy it - I'd rather buy the real thing. Then I know it wont go south on me. And if it does, I can email Pangolin and find out what went wrong, or what I am doing wrong. Plus the saving here is not worth my audiences eye saftey should this thing fail and project a full power static beam or do other loopy, crazy things.

It could be a legitimate SE board in an OEM case.
IT should have a serial number though.

The se is a lot more expensive tho..

That's what it sounds like, an XE board.

Maybe they have stock they can't get rid of since the FB3-QS launch or maybe they've bought up surplus stock from another source.

Well this sounds kind of nice with the SD Card ability, AFAIK the regular FB has none.
I did not know there was more than the FB3/QS package.
I did a little quick googling and am reading of an OEM versions also, yet in this thread I already read SE and XE, these two are the same?

Edit: I forgot to say that when I click on the picture that I get no image in the popup box hehe.
That site needs more than an overhaul.

They are the older boards. The FB3-QS is the newer more capable board.

The SE has the memory card, its not SD but some older format from memory. I believe the XE is the cased version of the SE (my post should have read SE not XE).

Unless you have a specific need for the memory card, you're far better off with the FB3-QS in my opinion. The memory card adds little to the package tbh.
