RE: , what would it take in your mind for any computer maker not just Dell to transform the PC box, de-commoditize it?

It can not be done.
If I took your PC, the BOX, and swaped it out for another brand, Same CPU and Memory, copied your HD to the HD on the new box so all of the options ect were the same, Would you be able to tell the difference.
I know if I changed the Keyboard, mouse or the monitor you would notice. But if you did not look directly at the box, how long would it take for you to notice that it was different from the DELL box that is there now.
This is like the coffee thing, you don't know I am doing this so you are not going to run any utilities, and you are not going to see the startup screen that might display the manufacturer, and give me away.

How long would it take to nitice the change?

Your answer will affect how I respond to the comodity question.
