I heard about this today:

Apparently it's just online.

That's surprising. Looks like it's about the same price as Koobox, which looks like another decent Linspire shop.

Man, that IS a Koobox case, at least.

Look at the Multimedia pic down there, exact same box.

Hey, that is great. My only issue, though, is when I clicked on further details and read the review, the review sounded too good to be true. Almost like a marketing shill Linspire wrote it. It seems too good and too "constructed" to be true.

Yeah, I think that's what marketing types do. But honestly, does anyone ever believe anything they read from some marketing flyer or publication? I always figure you turn down the Hype Dial from "11" to about "2" and find that gives me something close to reality.

[EDIT]
Whoops, I see what you mean, it's a "Review" though obviously not from some customer. Yeah, at least Amazon separates reviews from consumers from reviews by others or something written by marketing people.
