    No Blu-ray either.

    XT1 for Tigerdirect and Compusa seems to be a better deal.

    Can't beat 1499.99 shipped with no tax.

    You should not sell the hdd, if you want to RMA, you will have to buy the same hdd model.

    Not only is the HDD slow. The machine only has a ONE year warranty. Most vendors sell Asus with 2 year parts and labor and one year accidental inssurance. Two negatives...

    I just found them today. They didnt seem to bad for the price. Its better than the ones being sold at best buy with the gimped 460m in them.

    I have to pay taxes in GA since they are located out of GA. Thats the only problem I have with Tiger Direct. And I dont use a Blu Ray player unless its a rewrite Blu Ray.
