Careful on this one. I was interested because the price seems very reasonable. When I checked the seller out, however, I found feedback indicating that he had attempted to sell it previously, but the winning bidder indicated in his feedback that the unit was in much worse condition that indicated. It may still be a good deal, I've seen people wine over a few scratches on otherwise great merchandise, but who knows what the bidder was commenting on.

My recommendation;

BUY IT NOW!

By looking at the serial number it is a small
task to convert the unit to make it compatible to 240V for Europe.

I contacted the seller and he promptly returned my inquiry about if this was the unit that he had received the negative feed back from . His response was yes disclosing to me that the previous buyer returned the unit to him because of cosmetic issues and was not pleased . Check out his feedback and the stories will corroborate.
The price seem OK. If you do buy it ask the seller to brace the sides of the chassis with 2 " thick Styrofoam behind the rack ears (to keep them from bending from impact) with tape holding it in place then 3 " thick layer of bubble wrap! then boxed in a large box, and boxed again; Double Boxed! At no time can the rack ears make contact with any part of the cartons. I have had too rack mount gear shipped to me and ruined from shipping damage .
