    Looks like there are still a few on eBay, if you don't mind buying an non-customized system. You can use Bing Cashback to get ~$130 back (8% at the time of this posting) for a Buy It Now purchase.

    Very nice, Joshua-EX. Be sure to get plenty of sleep the night prior to UPS delivering it. I can guarantee that you aren't going to be getting any sleep when you receive it.
