"Looks like the board (and the "competitive price") were fake.  The item was always out of stock and was simply put up there so that reviews could be posted attacking Tau Labs and lilvinz's hardware, resorting to name calling and other such…"

"Tau Labs is a friendly fork of OP.  Previously if anybody disagreed with the powers to were, they were almost universally banned and ran out of the project.  In contrast, I have witnessed quite a few disagreements while in Tau Labs, but they were…"
