steve, i agree that ibm isn't making much money - if any at all. from what i understand, and correct me if i'm wrong (i know you will ;-), cpq's sub $1k boxes are not fully upgradeable. they are also sized smaller for shipping concerns and they use fewer parts.

ibm is apparently a full scale upgradeable box. this may pose a huge threat to cpq's profits. their cogs may have to go up to match ibm's new standard.
