I think it is great someone is selling a desktop package that is
guaranteed not to depend on binary blobs or proprietary drivers.
(Stallman approved!) I'd buy from them for that reason alone.

Boy, it sure would be nice to have one of those quad-core i7
processors... (eight virtual cores)

Actually, my current PC is an AM3 socket, but one of those six core
Phenom II X6 processors would do the job well enough.
<http://www.guru3d.com/article/phenom-ii-x6-1100t-be-review/> Right
now my desktop is running off a *cough, cough* single-core Sempron
because my other PC melted. But I have a triple-core Athlon XII X3
coming in the mail, which I was able to get for $80 and free shipping.
(The most I can afford right now.)
