Quality of DM800 SE Clone

[argentia]

I am now on my 3rd clone box. All have come directly from China. The latest one is the SE version and I have noticed that the box casing/chasis is slightly twisted so it rocks when you put it on a level surface. Having had a closer look the build quality does not generally seem to be as good as my last box and this one only last a couple of years. Based on the build quality (or lack of it) of my current box, am I looking at a short life (again)? What has been your experience?

Nearly 4 years out of my sim2 800se and 2 and 1/2 years out of my estar 800se.

I only got 4 years out of a Genuine 800hd so im not doing so bad.

Have a dm800se 2 yrs, so far so good. although one of the surface mount connectors came off the board.
The connector on the far left as you look at it, if memory servers me correctly. Its only used for flashing from an external disk I think.
