HA HA!

You're going to get pwn3d hardcore if you buy that stuff in Northern Ontario. Just go to NCIX (www.ncix.com), and get it from BC at awesome prices. You'll have to pay shipping, but it's reasonable and the fact that you don't pay PST because you're out of province all but negates the shipping charge.

Isn't Dell selling something just like that for $300 or so US right now?

edit: oops, just configured one -- $679 - $150MIR = $529 US for an almost identical system
