Charles, The easy-PC is the same type of tech that all the screwdriver shops have been doing for ages. A standard case, power supply etc. Easy to upgrade the mobo etc. Will the AMD product be the same? or will they change the shape of the mobo for each CPU making an upgrade impossible...like Dell does? If they make it an upgradeable standard they can attack the entire industry making each screwdriver shop able to sell a nationally branded item. Potentially very powerful. Bill
