Well, ending price was considerably less than $475 - enough to make it
interesting at least.  Yes Greg is Good People, but it's over a $100 in
price difference.  To some folks that means the difference between
having and not :(

O2 also have significant "WOW" factor too.  The Octane gets more looks
and "How fast is *THAT*" than the 900Mhz laptop next to it.  Something
to be said for interesting case design I suppose  :)
