    You're still paying for the PC Care Bundle and the Warranty as well...that always jacks the price up. You also need to go as far as the cart in order to see all the discounts.

    the thing is that you have the warranty/pc care in there, as well as a 7200 rpm HD (the 5400 rpm is "free")

    go to ebay and buy a 15% off coupon - I bought one for $2.49 and it was stackable.

    I see everyone with prices in their sigs that are so cheap, and when I attempt to configure exactly the same way, I get prices that are anywhere from $100-300 more.
