    • 17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife™
    • FREE!1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz

    I'm in pretty much the same boat as you tax-wise. Lousy governator...
    My tax was $147.95, and an $8 "Environmental Fee"

    My Config (in boxing)


    17-in UltraSharp TrueLife Widescreen WUXGA
    Intel Core DuoProcessor T2500
    2GB, DDR2, 667MHz
    100GB 5400RPM
    256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS
    XP Media Center Edition
    8X DVD+/-RW Drive
    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card
    9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

    I saved $798.60 with the 30% off coupon.

    Yikes. I hate taxes..I might tinker a little more..but I think this is it for me..and the 30% gives me $740 off..so the $750 is better for me unless I wanna squeeze something extra out.

    ..I don't see your wireless card listed in my options. And I am not sure I am getting whatever Bluetooth deal it keeps telling me about either..

    OK. PM Sent. FYI, it says "On select systems", so I don't know if it will work. Good luck though!

    looks like a sick system, I was going to get one similar to that when I had a 30% off coupon, but I decided that a 15" would be more portable, and that'll own any game with the 7900!

    Murphed, I'd put that in a new thread. I don't think you'll get many responses in this one.
