Mebbe I am or others are misinterpreting the question... I took it as how many of the "new build" threads you see on PCM actually get built.... as for myself, there has never been a "new build" ... there was a new store bought machine that has undergone upgrade after upgrade from it's origin of a 486SCL 33Mhz to my current 2.4Ghz machine... yes, there is one original part... the floppy drive still exists from that humble beginning. As for builds... I found my log book a few weeks ago from when I worked as a wholesaler... 5837 machines built in 2.5 years. My best day was a bulk order of 30 identical machines, all built in one day, all fired up without a glitch. I never kept track after that for the 4-5 years that I worked for two other people... but it was MUCH slower paced for that time frame.
