Although now I'm wondering: can NAOMI 2s be shipped internationally if the seller packages it well? I'm assuming it isn't as bad as something like the Chihiro where you would want to hotglue the heatsinks down before you send it a long way. I have a contact in Japan who can probably get me a deal.

You would be right in that assumption. I haven't seen a NAOMI 2 w NetDIMM setup for sale in NA in a while, that was willing to ship to Canada. I've definitely learned my lesson. Although, it begs the question of what the seller expected would happen. He's selling several other PCBs and ships...

That's awful news. The entire unit was encased in a cardboard box and then covered in two layers of normal (thin) bubble wrap. Not nearly enough especially considering this had to get from Indonesia to Canada. With any luck at least the NetDIMM can be salvaged (it's a 512mb model).

What's a good practice for that? It looks like there was thermal paste on the four corners of the chip so I assume I need to add that back on. I also see that the loose heatsink has knocked off one of the small capacitors to the right. Hopefully there's no other damage to the board.

Hi all, I recently purchased a NAOMI 2 with a NetDIMM setup. The seller showed me some pics of the board working but it looks to have had a rough journey to my home, with one of the plastic legs having broken off and rattling around in the box, along with something else rattling inside the unit...
