Hi Tony,

Heh, to be honest I've only seen around 5 of the things myself....not
exactly a large sample. :-)

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I'd assumed it clipped on over the existing
bezel in some manner, hence making it easily removable.

I'll have to keep my eyes open now rally season is starting again. I used to
see a lot of HP drive boxes on sale at them, during the last few years the
supply seems to have dried up somewhat....always the way, you see lots, but
when you actually want one....
