Diki, I had one of the earliest models and it was a demo unit..with all "old" stuff..The power supply went bad and rather than replace it, I knew that Dom made "BIG" advancements, and the outdated mixer board for one needed to be updated..The rest of the updates was my decision, including the 250 Sata2 drive...I wanted a mic board also...

Do the math ..you could not build a desktop for the money it took to update to the current model...

I don't have a clue where you are coming from...with the comments..
