    Hiya, now I am part of a large family-esque group of gateway owners. Of which I'm guessing more than 40% own either the 6831 or 6860. :p

    Ordered for 1000 (ebay, cuz I is awesome and canadian), got a t9300 for 250, and AS5 for 2$ (lol).

    WELCOME ME ALL YOU WHO DWELL WITHIN. :D :D :D

    He had to pay 250 more for a T9300.

    Did it come with the standard 1 year warranty?

    And as a T9300 is $330, it's a good deal. ;)

    I agree it was a pretty good deal especially considering he lives in canada.
