the reliability is no issue here, GTO, they were no mass sellers just because they were P-III based systems, i first saw this in Hyderabad's ctc(chenoy trade center) famous for the computer shopping here. way back in 2004 when we first bought AMD atholon for my cousin.
they were earlier made and sold by intel itself!, they even came with a phone on top of the monitor apart from all the mentioned features for the VOIP when the phone wala cards were on the raise and PC to phone calls were just catching on in the 2004, and were priced around 7500 back then and had CRT 14" monitors.
the fact that they lack space for additional cd drives and the hard disk can be a max of 80GB and the ram was SDram which is very costly to buy as costly as 3000bucks for a GB is what killed them, and more over the highend graphic cards could not be put on as upgrades so was not all that popular, and they never advertised this product very well.
this is only good for pure office purpose alone, the internet and the office use, how ever this is very useful for the software programmers as it has the same versality in terms of graphic usage as the early P-IVs and was way cheaper combo pack.
if the use is meant for pure office purposes then this is just perfect machine. but will need effective cooling as every thing is bundled into one!
