They seriously asking that much these days, I need to flog my closet dweller! I bought mine when that thread was newish. I think we were spending 3 to 400 on them about then. Oh well, you win some you lose some. I took a beating selling the first lcd I bought this FW900 to replace. It was a Dell 24", and like $1200 or something, sold it because I hated it, and bought this. The BLUR! Ah, memories.
In haven't looked into it, but that sounds insane. Maybe a NOT super top secret hidden and never used one would be more reasonable.
