If you have yourself organised (large desk space, tools etc) it takes about 15 minutes to put a machine together, and you can leave it installing while building another, which, if you build lots of identical machines will be quicker - I have often found opening the boxes/bags to be the limiting factor. So thats a £200PH saving.... Given that in a while the vista TAX will be a good £200 per machine in extra silly hardware - if the drivers ever come out - then I think that scales, and scales and scales........
