[Corbett]

I skipped the memory and harddrive upgrades because I can get them much cheaper elsewhere. What do you guys think?

Not compared to the deals they had on it before. But it's not terrible.

 

[warriorfan23]

where did you get that 35% off coupon?

 

[Corbett]

From some random free coupon site I found on google. I was hoping to get the 40% off coupon but no luck. Also I siwhed they were doing the 1gb free updgrade but that werent doing that at the time either.

 

[Tegeril]

Sometimes the coupons wouldn't stack with that free upgrade deal that had its own added discount built in, so it was hard to configure what you wanted.
