I have already seen the eSys computer going for GBP 127. I suspect it
excluded tax however. I bought one for 170 including tax and delivery. I
only use it for storage, music around the flat, and occasional SSH. It can
do /far/ more. Imagine the cost of a dozen of these babies... well under a
grand and a half if you get retail discount... this includes SuSE (not Op-
enSuSE!).
These have similar offers in the States as well, but being the States, it
verges even lower prices.
Best wishes,
Roy
