I've been totally drooling over those boxes, but there are >so< expensive
for what you get.

The level III barebones unit - the only one that has a P4 with non-PC133 
ram
is $2,100, with no soundcard, running windows 98(!!). That's macintosh
pricing!!

For that price, you could buy a the same pc as a kit, and one of those
silent enclosures for all your noisy gear. Hmmm....
