    when the A8j is released, are the barebone unit's available to purchase seperately? or are these barebone systems only available for retailers to 'pre-customise' for sale?

    I've been following the progress of the w3j closely, but i'm starting to think that with my background in desktop building, i may well find the same performance from this machine for a significant saving in $$

    Any thoughts?

    CanadaSys has confirmed that there will be an A8Jm whitebox (barebones) .
    No idea if there will be a barebones for the A8Jf or A8Jc

    A8JF = Integrated Intel Video
    A8JC = Nvidia Go7300 128 w/ Turbo Cache
    A8JM = Nvidia G07600 512Mb

    well so far the A8J will be available to N. America.
    However the situation on the barebones issue is unknown to me. I just foudn out about the barebones version of the A8JM
