Hate to bring the news but vesalia does NOT sell new A1200's at all. Not to me at least. Where my 1200 came from I don't know. But is seems composed of used parts. So 'used' would be my term for my a1200. It nice and white and all. But have nowhere near new. Assuming they just picked one of the pile for me you can say they are probably all like that. Mine had no warranty seals, two of the plastic clips were broken, a screw inside was missing, the box had some wear, the software and books were missing, a luxurious mouse was supplied (non standard, this isnt a bad thing) and the system was secured in its box by papers instead of those white things on each side. Not really new now is it?
But this is way off topic.
