regarding the quality of systemax stuff...

I've bought one PC from them before (I know its only one, but still). Was quite impressed. Was an Athlon thunderbird 1.0ghz, 256mb of ram (dont remember the brand as it was years ago, but it was a decent company), MSI mainboard, TNT2 video card.

In general i was very impressed. The thing never failed on me.

just my .02. YMMV
 
These things are impossible to come by. Was thinking of getting one for my lil bro, doesn't have much money I'll gladly pay 200 for your cause if you can hook 'a brother' up 🙂
 
Thanks. Picked up one. you can aslo use officemax/staples coupons. The rep said the sale will officially start on sunday-monday only. Available instore only. Thjey will print both rebates forms for you.
 
My local store never got any of these computers, but what if I can get another store to transfer one over to my area? Do you guys think the rebate will still be honored? I found another store with a good number of them, and they said that while they can't sell me the system over the phone, they can ship it to my local store, which never got any of these computers. I'm wondering if the rebates will be restricted to purchases made from stores having a grand opening sale (or were otherwise participating in this deal and got shipments of this computer to begin with).
 
Has anyone determined if this is a Opening special for specific stores, or if it is just regional?

Or is it just random which stores have received these systems?

The computers were sent mostly just to stores that have opened recently. They are the ones that are officially having this sale, but I'm wondering whether the rebate center cares where you buy the computer from. Some stores got a bunch of these PCs. If you can get one of these stores to transfer one computer to your local OD, and then you buy the PC from that store which originally wasn't participating in the deal, will you still get your rebate?
 
who knows? those dummies at fw messed the deal up again... as usual
they go at a deal about as smooth as a male hog in a blender 🙁
 
The manager at my OD is ordering one in for me and for herself from the warehouse. She said it would be in tomorrow. Since I have copies of the rebates I assume that I still stand a chance of getting them.

What are the odds they'll honor both rebates?

Apparently the odds of getting both rebates are not good. FW yanked the thread (as far as I can tell), but the later info I saw in it was from posters quoting OD as saying the $200 was a mistake and will not be honored for purchases after a certain date (01/05 I think).

Btw, I got in on 2 of the $89 Dim 8250 a couple years back. Sweet! Took over 7 mths. to get all my rebate money, so Dhell came through in the end.
 
If you check the link to the $200 rebate, it now says:

"Sorry,
The mail-in rebate you have requested from this link is no longer available for use with a current purchase. All purchases after 1/5/2005 will not receive the $200 rebate previously offered on this link. The additional $250 rebate for Grand Store Openings Only on this product is still availalbe and will be honored."

 
Well, my store finally got one in today and the manager took off $200 for the pulled rebate since I had started asking for one on the fifth. 🙂 So now the question is whether to try for the $50 rebate direct from Systemax on top of the $250 one that's still valid. 😕 Am I being too greedy (or foolish)?
 
Huh? The $250 and $50 are both valid, I'm just not sure about getting both after the store did a price override to give me the $200 off.

I didn't mean the rebates I meant I went to the website to order the pc and it said discontinued. 🙂
 
Happy Day! Both my $250 and $50 rebates are showing up on their respective web sites as valid! So, I'll be net $91 on this deal. (I know, should be in B&M)..😀
