    So I am sure by now those who monitor the eBay's will have noticed these units.
    I thought I would just make a thread showing one in a little more detail for those who may not have seen them.

    From the back picture, it seems they used the normal slim as the base and then added the top loading drive.

    Hmmm comparing the backs of this unit with a ultra slim seemed to line up more than a normal slim... Maybe I am missing something? The vent is identical I know that much.
    Its running dev software, probably should have included that in the images.

    Seller was asking 200 each managed to get mine for about 150. I am sure others may have been able to get theirs cheaper.
    No worries, was merely just pointing out my observations as were you.

    I noticed he had 2 available maybe 1 or 2 days ago? But then he took it down I believe or someone bought the last 2.

    You wouldn't consider trading a prototype Xbox 360 console for it, would you?

    A friend and I each ordered the last 2 the seller had.

    I don't think anyone else mentioned it but the model number is DEH-ML00AK-G

    I'm glad I know who the first buyer was. Dont worry the other 2 are in good hands as well.

    And like the others are saying - the insides; we want to see them lol.
