Sorry hdl but I don't agree. Companies are looking at TCO and not just the cost of the PC. The original cost of the PC is only 1/3 of the total cost of ownership for any corporations (server & network services being another 1/3 and support & maintenance services being another 1/3). Low-cost PC's lack network management features and have less or no expandability. They're also less consistent in component features (i.e. open 10 of them boxes and they're not all the same inside). In other words they're a network managers' nightmare. What you save on the cost of the PC you'll pay in additional management cost and maintenance & support cost. This is why major consulting groups such as Gartner, META, etc. highly recommend that their customers stay a mile away from them. It's the old "Pay now or pay later" routine.
