Buffalo Modz DNA 30 Mod

This looks to be basically directly using the Milo DNA20d guide available online, except the screen is vertical instead of horizontal. Why the builder chose to put the display on the rear panel is a bit of a mystery. It's much more common to stick it on the same side as the fire and control buttons, which just makes sense. And from the pictures the job they did on that box just looks sloppy. $100 more than a pile of very good OKR box mods and they can't even get it to look as good?

Heck, there's even step by step instruction from Mamu floating around on how to make these, with a better looking (imo) clear cover on them. I'd bet he followed the instructions, then got lazy on the cover.

I recently built a mod very similar to this one. The Buffalo Modz as pictured looks to be built with a Hammond 1590A(BK) enclosure. The 510 connector looks fairly cheap on this one, looks like the one that can be had for about $2 at numerous vendors online. The switches are domed tactile switches which can also be had for fairly cheaply. The material cost on a unit like this (including wires, connectors, battery and chip) is about $90 give or take a few bucks. There are a number of people making mods similar to this one (almost identical) for a lot less money than this. The DNA30 IS fantastic. Absolutely incredible. Best chip I've used. Is it worth it to drop $250 on THIS particular mod? Not in my opinion. I'd rather spend that money on a mod with better fit and finish and custom machined parts, like a ZNA. While I understand it costs money to do business, all this person has done is what you yourself could do at home with a drill press, some files, a soldering iron, and epoxy. There isn't any original thought put into this mod other than the logo.
