if you're buying it new off the shelf it will be a liteon, not a big deal for modders as all liteons can be modded with ease (with the right pc and "stuff" of course)
Buy it used from GameStop..if you get lucky, it'll be BenQ, if your really lucky...it won't be updated....
The girl who works at the GS by me, allows me to inspect all their used consoles before I buy them...worth a shot. Increase your odds and try to find one without HDMI. And yes, she is pretty hot.
