  Nah, not too ridiculous.  This one appears to have its connectors
on the rear, instead of the front (like mine).  If I get it cheap, and
it works, I'll use it and sell my existing one...and maybe even turn a
profit in the process.

  Of course that means I'll need to actually take the time to run the
cables and get stuff hooked up.  Argh.
