Linux-powered LinPC desktop is a bargain.

Good review.I have built many systems and I can attest that the price is fair and they cannot be making much of a profit off these systems.$300.00 is typical for a tower with these specs.The Everex GoS pc Walmart sells online is cheaper but it uses the Via C7 processor,which is pretty weak by comparison.The LinPC would run Windows XP[and maybe Vista]if you wanted to create an ntfs partitiion and dual-boot,and I know PCLinuxOS includes a nice utility on the live disk to easily restore the Grub boot menu after a Windows install overwrites it,then you are all set.Through in a Radeon 3450 or a Geforce 8400 GS for $30.00 bucks and you could even play most games out today.
