Latest addition to my collection! Unfortunately purchased slightly too late from a recycler, the smashed screen, surround and drives had been disposed of but the (sold as working) rest of the system was all there... but fully dismantled. All looks the part though, boards are green with extra wires soldered on in places and it has a few DVT stickers and "sample" markings on the fans (much like the one on eBay at the moment for $700 but a lot cheaper :) ). Something to gently reassemble over the next few days!

I should add I'm happy to post a few pics if people are interested. I've only had time to put the speaker assemblies and I/O board into position so far and have run out of thermal paste so can snap a few pics next time I work on it.
