On the contrary Lee, this group is full of ppl who, whilst willing to
shell
out more than the GDP of a small country on new bulk buy toys, will
bend
over backwards and jump througp hoops in order to save a few pennies
:-)

If you want to throw away your money on lots of
overpowered/underutilised
hardware then go ahead, but not everyone does.
My point was that pc hardware can serve several functions easily and
not
require separate boxes for everything.
