the PCB fabrication and assembly numbers are probably more +realistic for at least 10,000 units. These are *prices* of components (what +would need to be paid on the market), resulting in the *cost* of production; +the *price* of the final device would be higher than the cost to cover risk and +additional development and logistical expenses. + +For an initial release we can ship with used WiFi cards (or let people source +their own), so I will budget $15. Devices would ship with no SATA disk by default. + +<TABLE FRAME=VOID CELLSPACING=0 COLS=8 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 class="gridded"> + <TR> + <TH WIDTH=86 HEIGHT=17 ALIGN=LEFT><B><U>Subsystem</U></B></TD>
