I have a spare Rio Central taking up space that I'd like to offer to this group for sale before hitting eBay with it.

This unit is Serial number 317, and has the original 40GB Seagate hard drive. It comes with the remote control, a Linksys USB to Ethernet adapter, the cable that connects the Ethernet adapter to the Central (USB to USB), a power cord, and two homemade CDs containing the latest software revision and User Manual.

I just connected the unit this morning and tested all functions and it is working great. I also connected to the unit over my Network with jEmplode, so that is working as well.

The condition of the unit is as follows:

There is some wear and scratches on the top of the cabinet, however, the front of the unit is relatively clean (normal use). It looks like someone might have stacked some gear on top and moved it around (causing some scratches). If you were to put it in a stereo cabinet, etc. then you wouldn't notice the scratches.

Internally, the power supply and circuit board are in excellent condition and have not been modified or messed with. I repaired the unit when I bought it because the hard drive/CD tray was misaligned and the CD tray wouldn't operate. This was either due to shipping or some work done by the previous owner, but I was able to get the drive tray lined up pretty easily. One of the screws is missing on the right side of the drive tray because the post is missing, but it is still pretty snug because of the latch and remaining screw.

So, not in perfect condition, but working well and thoroughly tested with the original 40Gb drive.

I am asking $300 for the unit plus $20 for US shipping. PayPal payment is fine.

If you're interested or if you have questions, please post in this thread and also PM me...

Thanks,

Randy
