I got the DIY AMD FW16 a few months ago, coming from a 10 y o ASUS. There was this issue where it froze up after running a couple days and the boot time was pretty abysmal (seemed to be a firmware thing, as it would stick at the BIOS stage, but I only did 1 firmware update), but the issue seems to have resolved itself (I just left it and continued using the ASUS). Haven't had any further hiccups, and otherwise it's been a great machine.
