    I picked one up the other day. They're refurbished units, but mine came looking like brand new. They're 799 plus $2 shipping right now.

    I cant post URLs yet, but if you do a search on their main page for P-6860 you'll find it.

    Thats right! I forgot to mention that. You can get 5% back through live search. So I guess that makes it $762 shipped :D

    Make that 15% :D

    And it works too - I've just used it.

    Can someone tell me what make the 320GB drive is in the 6860 - is it Seagate or WD?

    Looks like they're sold out now :D Oh well, should've waited a week and got 10% more back. $680 would have been a REALLY good deal!
