Actually your pricing is slightly off.  The $995 is the price for buying the initial parts which you must own before you can subscribe to ETO.  If you have any or all of the parts, you can reduce your price accordingly.  The price of ETO itself is only $300.  Yes, that's a lot for a hobbyist programmer but in comparison to what you get in the package, I would argue that it is the best deal from any computer manufacturer in the business.
