Plus every time in the future they do a "PC priced workstations"/ "Workstation priced PCs" piece the machine would get a mention in the rundown along with a price/preformance comparsion (like the next does). Lots of free publicity and you'd get the satisfaction of know that Byte was being YOUR dupes for a change.
