Joey, RE:"Micorcenter isn't making much on these systems, believe me. Their strategy with these systems is to attract traffic in their stores. Sort of "bait and switch". I always ask about these systems when I go there, and they always say the same thing: "don't have any in stock, but we do have a Powerspec PII for only..." OK, I'll bite, what is Microcenters margin on these $399 sytems? Gross profit margin in % will do. Thanks, Jim
