[sdiy] Does anybody have an opinion on Siglent scopes ?

[Eric Brombaugh]

I've got an SDS1104xe and also found the stock fan annoying. I replaced 
it with a Noctua brand fan of the same size and it's a big improvement.

And yes - as others have noted it's generally a fine scope from a 
capability standpoint but the user interface is pretty annoying 
sometimes and the protocol decoders are a PITA.
