This reminds me.

Just out of curiosity for the general level of common sense out there, I put an ad on E-Bay awhile back. Listed a machine, with each component spelled out, including a link to a positive review of each component, all mid to high end gear for a home PC. Listed links to pricewatch prices as well, and started the bids at the price of the parts, OEM.

It ran for five days as a featured auction and got zero bids. People don't want a good machine, they want crap for an email and web-surfing appliance on average from my experiences with them.
