    I don't know of any local resellers. I ordered mine from New York, partly to avoid CA sales tax. www.geared2play.com.

    oh thanks. yea i came across geared2play while doing my hw on the m6bne... their price is pretty low compared to others and i think i might just get it there...

    i just had a few questions for you.
    -how is their service and support?
    -also do you have the dvd burner option..if so how is it? [slow? noisy?] i'm wondering if the extra 100 something is worth it for it...

    I don't have the DVD burner, that seems to me to be something I'd rather have in an external firewire case.

    Geared2Play is great, they've been very helpful with all the questions I've come up with.
