<< I laugh at all of you that say it sucks, it is el cheapo, crap, etc. but you give no reasons. >>



Actually the store that I visited was near Harrisburg. The reason I did not have a particularly good opinion was due to the appearance and condition of the store. It looked third world

I have no qualms about shopping in poorly organised/outfitted shops - but this particular store had nothing I would normally buy. That means the range of products (not brands) were not what I usually buy.



<< But pretzels, cookies, bread, milk, canned veggies and fruit, and most of their frozen food has no difference of taste >>


I don't buy pretzels, cookies, canned veg or frozen food, but the products which I usually buy were not any cheaper than when I shopped at Giant or Walmart. I'm all for cheaper (not lesser quality!) products.
I work for a German company (Siemens) and even the German colleagues that I have over here were complaining about the Aldi Markt. They did not shop their either.

I guess the stores will vary from region to region though - I find that the quality/prices of supermarkets/grocery stores in general is not so good down here in Florida, than when I was in MO or PA. I really don't understand why Tropicana (Florida) Orange Juice is more expensive in Walmart down here than in Walmart in PA???

There are 4 aldi stores in my area. The last time they had this deal they were all sold in minutes after they opened. Went to pick one up after work and all were OOS. The system I built cost me $1200 w/ OS, so this is a great deal if you can get one. I hope they bring them back to NW IN again.

Are there any of these stores in the US. or is this deal for Germans only. Das ist nicht gut fur Americans.

Well, since I can now see the product on a website, I see it's not a Northwood P4. FYI - this is identical system to the 1.6 they offered in November for $699.(turkey day special) but $100. more. I guess you are paying for the 1.8 as opposed to the 1.6. The software is the same as previous system, just different vendor. The network card is a Realtek and is on board. It konked so I slipped in an SMC. Added additional 256 megs. MB is a Micro-Star International MS 6399. Two memory slots.
