Can someone point to what a "home theater personal computer" worth $8 looks like?

Amazon lists one of their things for $2369: https://www.amazon.com/Moneual-932BB-Home-Theater-PC/dp/B002..., close to the "fraudulent" invoice price. $2000 seems steep, but $8 seems preposterous.

I guess it depends when. The CPU (Intel Q9550) came out in 2008, presumably several hundreds bucks then but today nearly worthless.

That disparity is confusing to me, too. My interpretation is that the spread between the actual value of the "items as-delivered" and the "paper cost of the items as-described" was the method used by the defendant to collateralize the liens of credit?
