I've always found this price ridiculous. Both active memory and storage
memory for a cyberdeck are cheaper! It also doesn't say if this is
_storage_ memory or _active_ or both.

I just use this simple rule: storage memory is the same as for a cyberdeck,
active also. The rest? You get them "for free". That includes keyboard,
screen, matrix hook-up port, printer (we never got a price for those, I
think - I can understand hooking them up to a cyberdeck), scanner, etc.
They are included in the "package" price, because you could argue that for
a PC memory costs should be slightly lower than for the more complicated
cyberdeck.
For other items, I use these same prices, and just figure out myself if
there should be any extra nuyen for special parts/accessories.

Another possibility is that printers, screens etc. are integrated in a
telecom-unit, so you could hook-up the PC to these. But in case you have
one telecom, and several PC's, that will be a problem.
