  Well, I just recently bought a Clio from Computers4Sure.  Somewhat
expensive for a H/PC, but a very nice design (I consider it an upgrade for
my ThinkPad 360P :) ).  I haven't tested the snapshot yet (this weekend, I
hope), but if you are interested I can let you know how it goes.

  I'm not sure this would be good info to keep on the port page, though,
as the inventory of online dealers tends to change rapidly.  Places like
pricewath and cnet do this much better and give you the current price :).
