Still trying to find a better supplier for the CPUs. They shot up in price since last month :( I mean yeah they "only" went up like £20, but trying to buy 100 of them.. it's not a insignificant amount :(

They do look impressive. I felt the need to splurge them over social media a bit.

I had to look twice - for a minute I thought it was screengrabs from new rotozoomer demo for CT60.

They look nice, and it is a *lot* of them!

Hmm, really tempting...

That's only about half of them done as well this batch! 40 was done in total IIRC. A few already sold, a few are already in stock. The ones in the image as just the ones which haven't been fully built and tested yet.

Currently, there are approximately 5 DFB1X units in stock. Unfortunately, the price will soon increase by about £30 due to rising CPU costs.

As I mentioned before, I have run out of CPUs, and their prices have increased significantly. Although they were sourced from China, the cost of acquiring them, combined with the risk of some being faulty, makes purchasing them no longer cost-effective. I explored various quoting sites to find cheaper suppliers, but the prices were no different. Unable to find more affordable options, I decided to source NOS CPUs from my UK broker, which will further increase the price.

I have listed some barebones units in the store for £165:

These come with V105 firmware flashed, a CPU socket fitted, and TOS404 flashed. They do not include a CPU or FPU and are sold as is, untested. Since I cannot fully test them without installing a CPU and FPU, and removing them risks damage, I will not fit and test them just to sell them cheaper. Fully assembled units with everything installed will be sold as fully tested.

Last time I offered barebones units, there was little interest. If no one purchases them within a few days, I will likely remove them from sale and complete them as fully built and tested units for stock. Building and testing will take a few days, and I am also waiting for the new CPUs to arrive. If you want a barebones unit, order now, as I will not disassemble fully built units later.

The price has not yet increased as these units still use CPUs from China. Once that stock is depleted, the price will rise by approximately £30 to reflect the increased CPU costs.

First batch of new unused 030 CPUs just arrived :)

The date code on the package say 0816 , assuming 2008, I didn't think they made them that long :shrug:

I love mine! I just need another Falcon so I don't have to keep swapping between the DFB1X and the CT63.
