I was really surprised to see how much computer could be bought for such a relatively low price.

I know that I couldn't purchase the items separately at Newegg and come anywhere close to this price.

These are "crunchin' machines" and I favor buying as many for TDPH as we can afford ... NOW.

I'm sure a lot of members have already given and some intend to give.

Would ask everyone to consider that this deal only lasts a few more days and that we need to act while the opportunity is here.

These will never be used for playing games, but one could ultimately result in a research breakthrough that will ultimately save thousands. What price can be put on that?
