Now I'm pissed that I didn't order another.

Turns out some more people I know want LCD's.

OK Ross, HTF did you do it for $1400? Even dropping the DVDRW drive & the 6800 I couldn't get it below $1600.

And damn you for spilling this into OT, I stay out of Hot Deals & wouldn't have known what I missed out on.

There was a $75 stackable coupon + a $99 rebate.

$1400 was a little misleading, had I had the fatwallet thread I could have pulled it off OK.

All over now anyway.

I could have swung two if I could have figured out how to get it down to $1400.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dell doesn't keep up to date on their CDN/US exchange rates, I could have just barely squeaked in, even with the 15% "You live in Canada, therefore 8===D" tax :|

Isn't socialism great? 😛

[obligatory dig]There certainly aren't any hidden costs to that wonderful health plan.[/obligatory dig]
 
Seriously thought about it--went so far as to customize a similar setup and save the cart while I thought about it, but I have the parts to build far more computers than I have time to think of something to do with and I figure that the 2001fps (or better) will fall below $600 soon enough, so I decided to keep on getting by with the three I've already got.

Best deal I got today was getting in a brand new old stock four-CPU Sun axmp rack-mounted system with 4 gig of memory and four 36G 10K hot-swap drives for $375. ...unfortunately, UPS dropped the box and bent up one side of the faceplate, and there's no way they'd pay me more than $375 to compensate for dropping the resale value by more than a thousand bucks. You win some, you lose some. :brokenheart:
 
WHAAAAAAAAAAA? Dammit, this happens when work cuts me off from the internet...bah.

Time to see if I have $1400 of space on my CC...just bought a 20", a sub and a car...it's hurtin.

edit: totally forgot what time it was. doh.
 
Its great for people who doesn't have to pay taxes.
Wasn't it great when people in Cali didn't have to pay for taxes back in the day ??
I just hate paying taxes if I'm buying stuff on the net.

oh, you doubt me! heh... unfortunately, i couldn't figure out how to get it down to 14xx... it was 16xx, and I didn't see any rebate (i was looking at the FW thread real quick).

I had a minute left and it was in my cart... but I decided against it... if I didn't get a call I maybe could have figured out what i did wrong... grrrr. one of my coworkers other jobs could have really used a freebie computer, I'm about to format a p2 233 w/ who knows how much ram.... it's currently running XP on top of 95.. and riddles w/ spyware/viri, etc...
