    T7250 2DUO
    1 gig ram (but will buy more though the hot ram deals thread)

    You should have used the $300 off $1499 coupon.

    I specced a T7700, 2gb, 8600GT etc for $1224 after the coupon.

    The $300 coupon is expired. But ThePope, you probably could have gotten another $100ish off.

    From several days ago right? Expired for the 1530 now... It basically converted the gift card that you would have received into instant discount.

    Yea so you didn't really miss out on any savings if you value the gift card as high as real $$.

    One word, "Sexy". :cool:

    I noticed you bought 1GB of ram and then using that $100 gift card for upgrading(from the ram deals thread). Smart thinking. :)
