Okay, I see...  But, what are you trying to say?  (With regard to the
subject at hand.)

Whether you would get an rx2600/zx6000 for $ 100 or even $ 50, you
would still have to power it.  I believe that the i2000 is much more
energy-efficient, from what I remember reading.  The system, form-
factor-wise (similar to that of a "mid-tower" AT/PC), would also a
lot easier to place in a smaller household.
