Come on, that is not reasonable to ask him what his profit margin is. I don't see anyone challenging A-EON or ACube on what they are purchasing their hardware and software/support for.
Fair point, but the X1000 is a terrible grossly inefficient and overly expensive design when they could have whispered "xbox360 motherboard" into IBM's ear and saved $1000 on the price. Most of that is because they have made terrible design decisions in their self-made bespoke technology. C= USA are either just slapping stickers on existing AIO PCs from China or at best putting stock x86 motherboards inside their bespoke cases. Quite a difference really considering the design of the case was already done for them in 1980 by the designer of the original VIC-20 casing mind
Ho hum.
