  That sounds more like what I was seeing than any other suggestion so
far. I really didn't get to look behind it at all, which was the
biggest drag. Being able to see cabling & power hookups would have been
very helpful.

  I think so. About 2" thick, vertical louvres at front? Couldn't tell
you about fans, as it wasn't plugged in.

  After reading my own post, I realized I didn't make clear that we
haven't gotten an official commitment on the PDP, much less picked it
up. So it will "probably" end up in our warehouse, and I will
"probably" be able to work a deal to buy it. Maybe. I hope.

  The naked face of obsession is revealed once again....
