HerbVic, I don't disagree with much of what you say. And on the general consumer front, I agree about $1K boxes being important. But I also know that for the professional mid-level user, the price point remains at about $2K for the box. Why? Because today those users all demand a $1-2K monitor, and they will always "spend up" for the power until the computer is dominating costs over the monitor. That is definitely the case here, where 20" monitors are now becoming the norm. This is more so for Mac clientelle than Wintel, I think, because of the greater graphics orientation in the Mac market, where the screen real estate has some priority.
