If the boxes had "Yixun Electronics" or similar printed on the rear I would not have a problem with him putting the electronics in new boxes,. But clearly there is an attempt to deceive people when it says "Hewlett Packard" on the front & rear. The "attention to detail" is superficial. Someone who formally worked at HP has sent me a list of about 5 things wrong with the rear panel. I am not going to disclose them all here as I realise someone from Yixenhk could read this list. All I would achieve is help them make more realistic fakes. I have also noticed that the IEC socket is placed in a location about 3 mm outside the space on the fake panel. There is a serial number sticker which previously covered up a warning. That has since fallen off. It is also printed Hewlett Packard. It is doubtful the ventilation slots are adequate - someone sent me an email saying his similar HP model had much slots for ventilation. This seller has a number of HP GPSDOs ranging in price from $180 to $799. Some are marked "Samsung". I bought the $799 one believing I would get an unmodified HP unit, but instead I have an expensive fake. I would be quite happy to buy a Ferrari replica - in fact I helped a friend build one on a Voltzwagen Beatle chassis. But I would not be happy if I bought an expensive car that was sold as a Ferrari, but which I layer found out was a Voltzwagen.
