In addition to that, this particular unit has no control box. The seller got rid of it in a separate auction months ago for a few hundred dollars.
It has been on eBay for more than a year, no price drop. I contacted the seller a while ago to see if he could work out a reduced price for what is essentially a useless collectors item, but no response.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Will actually do 800x600, 55 fov. With the control box it wouldn't be a terrible deal, at least until HMZ came out.
