Can you comment on the quality of the hardware? My main concern about
those ones is that the power supply is going to be something that
breaks down after a few years and takes other pieces of hardware with
it. I've never experienced that, even with what people call cheap
power supplies, but I thought I'd get some comments anyway.

It used to be a difference in currency, with the same computers on
both sites, unless I'm developing alzheimers at a young age which
wouldn't surprise me.

I believe that is just a marketing thing, the 300 was crossed out and
there as a 200 on top on the page I saw.

The sub200.com url forwards me to bluegreenred.com, but the first
album listed has a title that's very vulgar imo. NSFW if you ask me.
