I know that the 40% coupon is good until May 3, but some of the other promotions such as free memory upgrade may not be, and other things might go up as well. The reason I am waiting is that technically I don't have the money for it right now, although I could "borrow" from my school fund about $500 in order to get it at this deal. Do you recommend getting it now, or waiting and hoping it doesn't go up in price?
