Tony, RE:"We have found a severe reliability problem with closeout (aka grey market) hard drives. Sometimes they don't read or write, that's all! Samo samo with cheap RAM, undoubtedly SIMMS vs. the much more reliably newer DIMMs".... Tony, before you become too much of a skeptic. I have taken an E-machine apart. The HD was a Seagate. Others use Samsung. The CDROM was 24x, do you need 32x? Hardly poor "reliability" or off brand names. They get a good deal because the drives are small relative to what else is out there. Then again, who needs 13 gigs? The RAM in the one I looked at was a SDRAM DIMM...not a SIMM. 66 MHz RAM works fine at 66 MHZ...just like a Celeron.
