Default Do I own a Clown Box??

Hi there peeps...

I've got a dvb-xc (bluebox) and i'm tying to figure out whether or not it's a clown, lol. I've followed r.bates adobe guide to determine it's genuineness, with conflicting results!!!

The casing around the scart is black not shiny (fake?) but the ribbon cables are solid (real?) The green capacitors are not the same as on the picture but there are some green thingys there inbetween the blue capacitors. (I guess they kinda look like miniature water towers, green with grey tops if you know what i mean?!!?) Also theres no red paint on the screws holding the motherboard, so i'm at a loss really

Anyone care to give an educated opinion, before i flash it anyway and bugger the thingup for life.

Thanks in advance

(p.s. great forum - keep up the good work team!)

Does your box have big shoes, a red nose, and a green wig?
If the answer do the above questions are yes, then I am afraid you do in fact own a CLOWN box.

Without seeing the box for myself, it sounds like a genuine one.
