    So! You are the one who bought that item. It is also on my watch list.
    BTW, I think Zero... and TBtech...can answer to what happen to your model no. Its like an special unit. What are exactly included on the system?

    I saw that and was wondering the same thing. It looks like a part number not a model number

    I bought a cf-18 mk-2 from him a few days ago.
    This is his current listing as he describes it as a cf-18dhazxbm-du.
    If this is a cf-18d that would make it a mk-2, but the bios is showing v.3 for bios file, that makes it a mk-3 or f g or h.
    It has built in wireless as seen from the front picture.
    This is from a Canadian seller so probably a Canadian configured wireless setup for telus or bell I guess.
