With Vista reaching SP1, better graphics card, more storage, I
expect prices might go up a bit.
Those looking for XP, please be prepared to pay a much higher price
than a Vista machine. Manufacturers are phasing out XP...
Of course, if you DIY, it's another case. DIY for an XP machine is
much more cheaper.
For better pricing, might want to look towards the end of this
year's PC Shows, namely Comex and Sitex.
If you are just planning to buy storage devices, the prices will
definitely drop, and by a lot. One of them mentioned that a Maxtor
external hard disk costs $99 for a 160GB. The pricing will be even
better at PC Show.
I wonder if Seagate will ship their 1TB hard disks here, because
that will further push the storage devices prices down.
