In doing more research on the Applied Engineering PC Transporter, I have
uncovered two outlets that provide DISCOUNTS. There may be a shipping delay of
approximately two to three weeks since the discount outlets apparently are on a
quota system due to limited production by AE (which I believe will be corrected
as soon as AE ramps up production of the PC Transporter).
The three PC Transporter sources are:
Applied Engineering Choice Computers Hi-Tech Distributors
P.O. Box 798 P.O. Box 8432 1227 Cypress
Carrollton, TX 75006 Cedar Rapids, IA 52408 Richardson, TX 75080
214-241-6060 319-396-2306 214-458-4411 (orders)
214-690-6041 (info)
Prices and differences are shown in following table. Note that shipping and
handling is estimated by this author for Applied Engineering, and estimated by
the outlets themselves for Choice Computers and Hi-Tech Distributors.
Applied | Choice Delta % | Hi-Tech Delta %
Item Engineering | Computers CC vs AE | Distribut HTD vs AE

=====================|====================|====================
Totals $1,171.00 | $965.00 -17.6% | $865.00 -26.1%
The price list obviously is oriented toward a fully loaded GS based system.
Similar discounts are available on other PC Transporter related products.
This is not an endorsement of any product or outlet. I have no affiliation
with any of the above (other than as a satisfied Applied Engineering customer
based on prior purchases). I have no knowledge of integrity of any of the
above, but have no reason to believe they might be of questionable integrity.
Credit cards are accepted by all three.
Have a happy holiday,
