$600 U.S. for the board and OS 4.1 does not seem like a terrible deal. Especially great if you happen to already have a Radeon, case, power supply, ram, etc. :-) All those other PeeCee components sell for peanuts here in the States or can be had for free! Just ask your friends who contracted a virus, didn't know how to restore their computer and went out and bought a new one, if they have their old PeeCee in the closet. You'd be surprised! lol
