Nick,
I believe they do build them as they're ordered,
which was why I could get the custom modifications
I needed. I received a shipping notice and the
unit arrived on my doorstep 5 days later -- not
bad considering it shipped from Slovakia or something
like that. :)
Glad u got it working - i think this will become a
very popular item in a short time.
