I picked up 2 systems as well, a 4700 and 8400 for under $1000 combined, shipped to my door. Nice deal OP. Both systems were good deals.

These are definitely good deals. But don't your Ebay buyers complain that you post them as new when they are in fact refurbished?

It says "system is classified as refurbished"

Yes, if the ORIGINAL price is at least $349, you get free shipping. It does not pertain to the sale price.

One thing I really don't understand, if you are going to buy the system for yourself, isn't that the dimension 4700 deal few days or last week ago is better deal? $519AR included P4 3G, 512M DDR2, 80G SATA, PCI x-press slot, CD-RW, and 17" LCD.

I did order that deal, but
1) it was a P4 2.8GHz + 80GB for $519AR or 3GHz + 40GB for $519AR
2) I don't need the LCD or printer
3) the rebate is $100
4) better deals pop up in the outlet if you keep checking

so I cancelled my 4700/LCD/printer order ($618AR for the 1704FP monitor upgrade, 3.2GHz, 80GB) and ordered the one listed above instead. The cheapie monitor included with the $499AR config doesn't have DVI. The 1704FP is well worth the $29 upgrade if you're getting that other deal.

Ordered 2 lower end 4700s earlier. Ttax sucked but hopefully I'll still turn around $200 on both.

Thanks again very generous and unselfish of you as I've said before.
Looking to buy about 2 or 3 more just need to ship them to a friend's address now.

I'm not buying to resell. That's why I cancelled the first SB deal and am going to call in and cancel the other refurb.
