Apparently they're for real, but the prices are without an op system, monitor, or other peripherals. I tried their configurator and you add about $165 for Windows XP Pro, for example, and perhaps about $119 for an ordinary 17" monitor. Still looks attractive. But now the big questions are: How reliable are they? What about tech support, if you can't get the thing working to start with? If you get a lemon, can you get your money back? Does the op system come on a CD, or preinstalled, and can it be recovered in event of a future system failure? Etc. WP
