We have a contracted agreement with Quanta to supply complete working motherboards as a minimum and that includes some kind of O/S, as we have stuck rigidly to the contract conditions the answer is er... no! Quanta have in effect granted us overdraft facilities so we never go into the red at D&D and can afford to invest in massive hardware projects like er... oh yes, the Q60. If your CPU is any good? you might be able to sell it to Peter Graf who could supply it to us and we could sell it to you :-) All our motherboard components and expansion cards must come from Peter as this is another contract we do not deviate from. It makes absolute sense, one point of quality control for guaranteed components and a quality build. I have lost a complete evenings work messing about with is silly email stuff instead of working. A bit of a dent in the production schedule, never mind its all for a good cause, or is it? Makes you wonder sometimes. If I get to bed before 1:00am it won't be too bad, better than the 4 hours I got yesterday. Dennis - D&D Systems
