     Obviously, you haven't read all my posts; otherwise, you would
realise that I don't care what name is on the outside of the box, but
rather what is inside the box.  You've managed to put together quite a
nice system for the price.  However, do note that both David and myself
are located in Canada, so my comments are based on Canadian prices,
which are generally very good, but not necessarily as good as the
States.  Also, although unspecified, I'm guessing you spent more then
$600.  And, the system you put together is not even remotely typical of
a $600 system.

     See above.  BTW, I'd probably fire you for purchasing IBM /
Lenovo.  They lost their edge in the PC marketplace eons ago.  Their
laptops are generally pretty good and maybe some of their "real server"
gear.  But, in the desktop world, they're a has been.
