Jackay, I think you hit the head of the nail on the BTO model. BTO is great when the component price is failing rapidly, product with a lot of different configurations, and model changes very rapidly. However, from a production efficiency perspective, I have to believe that producing thousand of same PC would be more cost effective. In the low price PC arena, I don't see the model change a lot and the configuration are not customized. Price is the determining factor in the lower price segment and whoever has the lowest cost (manufacturing, marketing, service combined) would survive and prosperous after the price war. manwah
