Have a read on the website above & it'll explain how to look for a Jasper without opening the box, there's a little spy hole on the back which allows you to see the MFR date as well as the power rating:
16.5A = Xenon / Zephyr
14.2A = Falcon / Opus
12.1A = Jasper / Valhalla? (Might be less)
The above link is old now, there are plenty of Jaspers in circulation so you'll find one pretty easily, they use less electric & are really quiet in comparison to the rest.
Boo min'es a Xenon/Zephyr.... Still fine though. I want to get an Elite soon anyway.

My Brother is on his 4th Xbox360 now, fair enough if you like them, but its hardly like your car where it can be fun and a learned experiance fixing it.
GT5 will be here soon. Im sure there was a year or two wait for HaloII... Xbox has no advantages over the PS3 apart from initial price which soon goes up if you want some connectivity.
Having just played GT on the PSP which has been n the making since 1987. Very very let down. EPIC FAIL as you would say Danny boy.
Im moving more onto "semi pro" rather then epic fail now Rich, everyones all over epic fail
