IBC controllers

yes ill be keeping it here.

good good, i have sent a e-mail to you grant if you dont respond ill post here again

thanks for the help

can i ask how many people think these are a good controller? and how many people have had them blow up?

thanks alex

I had weird problems with mine. Wired everything up and worked for about 2 minutes and for some reason the big capacitor , one of its legs went red hot and separated and then the voltage regulator blew up. No idea why though.
But you shouldnt be discouraged by my post , many guys in Australia have had no problems at all and they take a fair bit of punishment.

Mine broke originally because i didnt mount it properly and the heatsink moved and pulled all the legs off the fets. But I Alistair says it is a good controller, possibly better control than the equivalent Vantec.

Agreed - possibly better control wise than the vantec and much better features, just ashame there were a few bad ones out there and they cant take the current of the vantec

how much is the suitable vantec? and how many channels do they have?

thanks alex

Only the 2 channels, the last vantec RDFR23 i bought was about £180, down from £250 the previous time due to the exchange rate and I got round paying import duty.

If you ask them politly they wil send it as a gift or sample and get you around the import duty - mine didnt get through customs and i ended up paying 250 fot it, great controllers though.
