    Just bought mine, best deal around.

    Was toying with pulling the trigger on the 6860FX for $799 when I tried this link one last time. They usually sell out within an hour, so hurry!!!

    Also at CompUSA for the same price (think they're owned by TigerDirect)

    Live.com offers 10pct cashback if you buy it from TD, though, so it should be $675 after the rebate.

    I really need to replace my laptop but after all the trouble I had trying to get this, than the 7805, then the 7801, I don't know if I want to try again.

    25% cashback is for ebay purchases.

    This is a good deal though. Hurry while you can.

    Figured this wouldn't last long...bookmarked the item page months ago and been spamming refresh every time I passed a computer...got lucky today and figured I'd share it with you all. Hopefully a few others got in on this.

    They still have the 6860 refurbished for $799...a great deal, but not as good of a computer for a bit more money:

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4090488&CatId=1891

    Anyway, the 10 pct cashback from live.com is something I learned about on Slickdeals.net. There's a little work and patience required, but for $75, it's worth it.

    Anyone try the Compusa site to see if any are left there?
    EDIT: nm, Compusa is out as well...
