I take it that this means pre-built packages e.g. Dell and not the sales of individual components? I don't know a single person who has ever bought a pre-built PC. Except laptops. Does this include laptops?

@robert:
I think you are talking about the Home user market.
The business market buy pre built PCs. This is where i suspect the majority of the decline has come from.
Personally, I don't know of any SME thats doesn't buy pre built.
