Not new, refurbished. My point never was that the latest boxes are overpriced, only that I miss the days when you could get into a tower for under $2K; and that was mostly further back than 2002 and the pre-gigahertz days (Though as late as 2003 you could get a G5 1.6 box for $1800 for awahile and the DP 1.25 Firewire snuck in under the tent at $1999).
I wouldn't turn back the clock, even if I could, just to get price over progress, but I wouldn't be a cheap deal hunter if I didn't miss lower prices at least a little. ;-)
