I went and looked. It would be nice if someone referring to a
relatively new product would call it by name the first reference
to it instead of xyz or whatever.

BTW, I never got to the specs at that site because they asked for
my agreement to a long list of crap and I left. I get enough
spam. :)

I was wondering if they could be used to build a small

think so?

Yes, that's the appeal. I'm assuming those cost savings will ensue
whether I buy them or build them myself. Is that a valid assumption?

Isn't a SIP a SIP? Or does each individual brand need to be tested and
sanctioned by some authority? That's a good question you ask.
