    Using my EPP discount, I can go down to $1514 after shipping/taxes. Do you all think it's a bit on the high side and hold out for any coupons this week? Couple questions too:

    How great is the performance increase between the 160GB 5400 and 7200 RPM HD?
    Is it worth upgrading to a better sound card in hopes of not getting that pinging sound folks are reporting?

    Thanks!

    If you plan to pay with DPA, you can PM me and I'll give you a $100 off coupon that stacks with all the other discounts.
