Of course I've worked on them... my previous post on their quality was 
an account of the dreaded Legend and Force series machines... Utter 
Crap.  Who ever heard of a tower case where the cards run along the 
bottom along the width of the machine?  But a good dremel, soldering 
iron, glue gun, and some paint could gut one of the few nice looking 
cases and prepare the internals for at least a SS5 board.
