Nope!  I'm as serious as a heart attack!

Looks like its going to be US$699 but don't quote me on that because it's up 
to the US distributors to set their own prices.

I have it in operation at this moment.  The AT-size card is 11.5" long by 
4.5" high, and 0.71" thick in the RF compartment.  The weight I am not sure 
of, but it's a hunk, and the RF area is definitely shielded big time.

And the sucker works!  I'll post a detailed report within a week.  I haven't 
finished it all yet.

.  But who knows....maybe there will be a "hack" for that.
