No, I was not aware of that, and their self configuration policy is
rather restrictive if you don't know what you are doing. However, if
you are a sophisticated buyer, you do get some good bargains there. Like
an ATX case with 230W power supply for �25 incl VAT and incl a scratch.
I also bought a couple of hubs from them last week - another sale DABS
might have had.
So what if the software is OEM, its still the same as a retail pack,
only you don't pay �20 or more for a fancy cardboard box.
