I think its at IBM.com

http://www-132.ibm.com/content/home/store_IBMPublicUSA/en_US/ad.html?&ca=rop&me=W&met=inli&re=hho

Also there are a bunch of IBM Discover Card specials on X31, T and R series.

http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=-840&storeId=821258&langId=-1&dualCurrId=201298&categoryId=2302835

I would recommend you note down the part number and call IBM directly and they would most likely give you that price.

You dont have to use your Discover card and currently shipping I think is 2-day UPS directly from Hong Kong x

This system is insanely loud at 40Db and I would first consider the T41 for $1,400 instead.
