The model I got from MCE is the same, but has these two items removed -- possibly from a factory, as the solder joints look as if they never *had* a switch on there to get in the way. It should be trivial to remove the bezel and, if it gets in the way during installation, the eject button. And it could save you $60, too.

No Joke! I bought mine for like $2700 *sheesh* my new 1.5ghz 12″ didn’t cost that much.

(by the way, I sold that 15″ for $1100 a couple months ago, kinda wish I hadn’t)
