Oh, I haven't seen they sell an empty version!

Thanks! That would be interesting.

AH> This one looks like that too. That doesn't mean it isn't usable.

Of course not :) And I wouldn't like to offend our Chinese friends, if
any are on the list. It's an unfortunate truth however that most of
the cheapest goods are produced there, as the labour is cheaper and
the laws are more forgiving of environmental and work labour issues.
That doesn't mean that all chinese goods are by definition crap. I
didn't mean it like that :)

I will try to look around the web on some images of these units
dissected.
