    That certainly looks like it but I would not pay $400 for it. I bought mine used from a member of the forum here and paid less than $200 and it has worked flawlessly for the last year.

    Here is one on ebay from a reputable seller (99.2% on 44k sells) for $235 brand new it says OEM, not an "illegal" engineering sample with no warranty or gurantee.
