    I don't know, someone on here also got a P-7805u with the 1920x1200 screen for $450. He knew someone at gateway.
    :p
    Said thats the price it costs them to make the systems and thats what they gave it to him for.
    Shows how much we're getting overcharged :p

    +1

    (also bought a 1 year warranty and customized it a bit with some hardware; HDD, BD-Rom and Bluetooth)

    EDIT: Ok, you guys wanna throw rebates into the mix. Live cashback, $91. Also got $15 back paypal rebate ($15 back on $75 or more, drive cost me about ~$75.02 after shipping and tax), plus $1.20 live cashback on the HDD.

    I did the live cashback deal on ebay and got my 6831fx for 710 after tax and shipping. I added an X7800 for another 140 after tax and shipping so altogether came up to 850$ for a used 6831fx with X7800. Hopefully I don't spend anymore on this.
