eComStation PC is a desktop/notebook with a non-standard case, with 
eComStation case badge,

Why eComStation PC still doesn't exist? not popular?
* (OK, some distributors are selling PC with eComStation pre-installed, 
nevertheless..)
* It's impossible open eComStation shop in every city. Users are living in 
different countries, different cities and districts. The  size of 
eComStation community is not large.  Users are going to the nearest 
computer shop and purchase hardware there.
* The users always need specific hardware (manufactured by different 
companies, new fresh hardware). It's impossible make them purchase tested 
(old) hardware only.
* Conclusion: it's impossible make users purchase eCS PC from eCS 
resellers only. eComStation resellers do not hasten to offer 2 or 3 models 
of eComStation PC.

Why eComStation PC is so important?
* User economizes time. All drivers and software is pre-installed. No 
troubles with LVM or ACPI.
* Resellers will order service software, other special software from 
developers
* User economizes money. PC + software is cheaper than separate components 
* It's very difficult make novice users purchase CD with eComStation. But 
it's easy sell them eComStation PC. 

How to support eComStation resellers and make them promote eComStation PC?
* Support your local reseller. Buy hardware and software from the reseller 
again. Order a barebone or notebook from the reseller.
