Dude, we already have 9K pcs in India. This is not mch off, considering the taxes and all which are levied on the $ price of any good, the 200$ would amount to more than 10K i suppose.

US$ 1 = INR 39.5 :D

considering the asus eee pc, olpc and the likes this might also be in a compact package unlike the desktop form of the PCs we get here in India for the amount you are saying.

I can make up a better config than this. Did you note this one does not include a display unit?

when a product would come from US to India, things doesnt work that way :( the price usually we see is in like USD 1 = INR 50 :( so quite true, USD 200 PC will be over 10k withouth doubt !!!
