Haha, retro is a nice way of putting it. I'm pretty sure the LED display and minimal user interface is mostly to keep costs down. I can live with that considering the rest of the system works really well so far. I'm quite happy.

Yeah, Cat5 can be a big pain to work with if you don't have the right tools. Thankfully, I have a real small gauge wire stripper (goes down to 30 gauge I think), and that is really helpful. I've tried it without and I just snip through the wire time and time again.

Good eye, it is a Goodman furnace. I believe its around 80K BTU. I forget exactly. I just know its bigger than it needs to be.
