Usually I would agree. . I've built several of my PCs. . . but generic clones cannot come close to the price of some of the PC only deals out there by the major manufacturers. . . .you have to know what you are looking for. . but when you do, the prices are great. Now I require a CD-Recorder, DVD player, 128 meg RAM, 20+ gig HD, 500+ MHz Celeron or similar, 16Meg+ Video RAM, 1 Meg Cache, audio card, USB. . . and I can get all this for close to a grand. . . the parts alone would cost more. I think because Hewlett Packard is the leading maker of CD-Recorders and a big maker of DVD player, they are able to cut down the price of these in their packages, where buying the CD Recorder alone is nearly $300 alone. I totally agree on the MSFT deal. . . it will anger more people than it will please in the long run. . . did they not consider this? Rande Is
