$200 gets you only a lower-powered i3 or Celeron-based Chromebox. The Chromebox for Meetings bundle includes i7-based boxes, which sell for $600-700. So $999 for that plus the peripherals is a fair price for the hardware BUT it is only sold through resellers and includes $250 annual support contract.
