My roommate just bought an LQ800 for $299 + tax from
MicroStar (Downers Grove, IL).  As a long-time laser printer
user, I was impressed with the print quality.  (The
last dot matrix printer I used had only 9 pins... nobody
had thought of 24 pin print heads back then.)
MicroStar also had some reasonable priced PC clones.
Yes, this sounds like a plug, but no, I'm not affiliated with them.
