    really? Hadn't noticed

      Given the OP was happy with his last computer.
      I see nothing wrong with the post from Ross.
      I often see other members posting links to products they are associated with . And some time that association is not made to clear .

      Said computer has a few things I like about it .
      Accent speed and the ccr po2 bar display to name a few .

      How it looks . What can you say a brick s a brick .
      Unless your wanting to have sex with it what's the problem . Lol

        Have had 3 OSTCs. First one the screen went, bought a replacement plus a second due to solo diving. Buttons have now packed up on both so can't gas switch and the screen is going on one.

          The buttons can be replaced.

            If my post doesnt have a typo, then I have probably been hacked!

                  After 10 faithfull years, my now EOL Liquivision X1 backup computer has died. I treat computers like relationships - once you have one you love, you don't look elsewhere, so I'm out of touch with the latest (lesser known) computers on the market.

                  My requirements are simple :-) > a) no less than 5 switchable gases, b) OC Fixed Setpoint CCR mode, with auto setpoint switching at user defined depths, c) Buhlmann ZHL-16 'B' or 'C', with GF's d) OLED Display e) User replaceable battery, f) Friendly interface. Nice to have, Fischer connector for three cell monitoring (Inspiro Vision) - but I've never felt the need in the past.

                  Perdix would be the safe choice, but open to suggestions especially if there are cheaper credible options?

                  Kind regards, Andy
                  If you want another Liquivision, I have a Lynx for sale, hardly used. £500 including transmitter and battery kit
