Yep, thats significant. A earlier question was how is CPU going to beat Dell with a store. I don't really anticipate them doing head to head competition. Basically, Dell goes after the business community or people that have computer knowledge so they know what to order. CPU is more into the consumer side of things and into service. (Not floor service but corporate service and training.) I really anticipate that the big sellers on the floor in the future will be software and periprials, not the actual computers.

Eventually, Dell will be hurt by the cheap PC's like everyone else as businesses will start to realize a computer is a computer. If the componants are sound, than they won't break down. And they probably don't need a computer that runs a zillion cycles per second. For most offices, a basic 586 will do just fine. So why spend 2000 dollars on a Dell when they can get a fine machine for 1200?
