I'm not sure why you're so hostile to user feedback ("please by all means purchase the 
other unit", Adam Henry). I'm just trying to point out that $175 for just a frame is is 
significantly more expensive in most typical customer scenarios. It's not an attack on you 
or your company. 

If you could find a way to bring the price down closer to the $65 dotCom frame, you'd 
probably have a hit. How come Roger can make it for less than half your price?

Plan PSU unit which comes in a self contained aluminum enclosure which requires no do-
