CC really need to add some sort of pcb suspension, or something. When I pulled the bottom plate off the dead v2 I had to laugh, that little foam thingy stuck to it is next to worthless, all it will do is stop the fan connector scratching the case...

I added some shrink tube to the fan wires on my v1, they were starting to rub thru on the pcb. I also added shrink to the wires as they exit the case, they were looking like they could be damaged too. Pity the BECs die, seems like a decent controller. I do not mind adding the foam cushion and the case clearancing, but running without a bec is a bit much...
