spots, I'll let the cat out of the bag..cpq makes a bundle on options and other stuff they sell that isn't a pc. The reason things are priced less the monitor is some wnat a monitor that cost $200, others $300, others $599. Some have a 15" monitor now and just need the 799 pc or 999 pc. Doesn't make a dif..jimbo thinks cpq has 99% of the sub k business. Of course the dells I'm waiting on right now took 7 hrs to manufacturer and 2+ weeks to ship from US 35 to US 183... about 5 miles. They are coming here via a turtle and they are almost here now..... Of course cpq is just as backed up...got 2 of them and waiting for 1 more. This is the kind of HYPE you get on SI when you have people posting that haven't ordered dells and cpq's and just do stuff on paper and beleive everything they read in the news. Don't mind them posting but they act like experts when they haven't done anything on this in real life. Meathead said he 's even on a sparc I hope jimbo didn't make these pc's i'm getting from dell...I'll have to send them back for power supplies<gg>
