ed, the burnin time is determined by what pc it is... there is no std one hr burnin. mat'l cost all depend on the pc too... then there is another item...burden. my guess is a pc is 92% purchase parts, 1 % or less labor and 7% burden at cpq. I can tell that the license fee is way off...too high. the other purchase cost are too high. heck I can buy some of the exact componenets at those prices. I would hope that if cpq buys 1 million of something they get a price break<gg> My guess based on when I left and that was after cpq's first low cost pc... all those prices are alittle high. But, I would say that that guess is closer than most get.
