And I am not impressed with your lack of knowlege of how computers
work either!

You seem to have no clue as to the quality of Compaq, or other
name-brands for that matter.  These companies fully integrate the
parts together, not just "throw them in and hope they work" as
just about ALL clone builders do!  Not to say they do this on
purpose, but they do not have the cash to sink in to verify that
the system will work with all the hardware/software options that
possibly could go into it!

I also see you don't mention a warranty, another issue that 
clone builders don't mention mutch since the parts do not have more
than a 1-year warranty most of the time.  You might also want
to check on the CPU warranty, most clone wholesalers give you
a 30-90 day warranty, and some only a few days!  

You seem to think that quaility and warranty can be put aside for
a few extra parts.... I for one differ in that opionion, and I 
would imagine that most people would pay 10% extra to make sure
that a product works well!

Oh yea, I forgot the most important caveat about clone builders!

And that is:  If they "go away" so does whatever warranty you have!

That means if the store, or person, can't be contacted then you
HAVE NO WARRANTY! Unless you get lucky and get a few name-brand 
parts(very unlikely)! Anyone see IBM or Compaq going under in the
next year or so?

Just my .03 cents worth, but at least I don't tag my own personal
advertisement on the heels of someone elses, I am polite enought to
know that its both bad manners and bad business to do so!
