I believe that that part number was created to help the folks that wanted
to use their cube at the office and at home.  Alot of folks would like to
do that without buying two machines.  The problem is that with the monitor and
keyboard, that becomes a real big package to cart around.  The simplest
solution was to sell the monitor, mouse and keyboard for a very reasonable
price and let the user have one set at home and one at work.  Then they just
have to cary the cube back and forth.  Not perfect, but quick and relativly
chip solution.
