Since we are on the topic of what is not included. Let's see. We are in the situation after buying HP equipment. No CD-ROM reader, no X software, no X-terminal/workstation console and anything else eg performance monitoring tools, cost you an arm and two legs. If you were going down the HP route, MAKE SURE you get everything in black and white of the items (H/W & S/W) promised to you.

Dont get me wrong, I like HP gear but are they expensive when you start to add up all the options. They have one of the best chip architecture but are they $$$$.

For what it's worth
