I've worked with "Store bought" and "home built" systems for a while, here is something I can share 1. Home built will match or be lower than (cost wise) a SB 2. a SB like IBM/DELL/ will generally give you less trouble because they would have done the "integration testing" for you already 3. SB will not give you what you want exactly, you will have to compromise something somewhere, maybe a motherboard, maybe a display card, maybe a sound card but they will screw you somewhere down the line...:) 4. a HB will give you the warm fuzzy feeling of doing something and doing it well and also some experience in understanding how these components fit together.
about the maintenance part of it well if a HB goes down , you need to rip it apart and ship it to them, wait for an RMA , get it back refix , retest and hopefully not reload a SB will give you one advantage, assuming they have a reasonable policy (most major vendors do) you'd get the part in a day or two.
So like other things there's no black and white just grey!
Ok so its not entrapment, so what are they going to do next? Parade nude chiks on the road and then arrest ppl. for watching "offensive material" in public places??
reminds me of the claim every database vendor makes how their database is the fastest around...and in some cases unbreakable and "independent" sources corraborate it... I would like to review too, take home a new system and say that P runs fastest on Q and is more scalable than R (where P,Q,R are anything you want to be)
Drove from California to Texas in '99 and from Texas to CA this year (even took route 66!!) and I missed the chance to have Kodak sponsor my trip.... awwwww damn!!
"The DNS is built so that eight or more of the world's 13 master root servers would have to fail before ordinary Internet users started to see slowdowns, according to John Crain, manager of technical operations for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)."
Where did this magic number 8 out of 13 come from?

Er... why don't you su cp /dev/null /etc/passwd
and then tell me the difference between /dev/null and /dev/zero..
thanks!
cp /dev/null ie
cp /dev/null netscape
cp /dev/null opera
cp /dev/null konqueror
we could all er.... ;) browse their collection and see what they were fined for....

I guess they will buy bandwidth for the next 20 years at todays market rate + 20%
