    Dell PowerEdge 400SC P4 2.8HT for $388 / P4 3.2 $748 after $150 MIR/coupon (basic configuration) [3.2 deal Warm]

    My mistake, the 15% is only for software and peripherals. Time to buy the 3.2c and turn the 2.8c! Wohooo!

    Warm 2 Hot! High-end IronHorse Mountain Bike $1599

    I'm pretty sure they reviewed the IronHorse Hollowpoint Team, but the frame is pretty much the same but with a few upgraded parts. The components are pretty good though. I would recommend everyone to actually try out the bike at a local bike shop (LBS) before jumping on deals online unless you...
