john, I have research that says that dealers make 10-14% on the low cost. I think cpq makes just as much. cpq doesn't mfg'er the sub800 pc. FIC does , so it's a purchased part that cpq helpa mat'l logistics, designs, gives FIC their purchasing power volumes if needed. cpq has a huge high end prodcut line that dwarfs what dell sells.. and from what dell is doing, always will. people pay 100-300k for a cpq server and think nothing of it. most the erp stks I wouldn't touch..the erp s/w for biggies is too complex and takes a real systmes power to implement and takes to long. cpq started working on their new ERP in 1992. I was a team member, but left in 1993.
