    how should i go about asking for a price match.

    i went online and chose two different things..

    first time i tried clicking home user and got a price of 1450 or so...

    then i went again and clicked small business and got a price of only 1388

    is it possible for me to ask for the 1388 one? i sent it to myself in email but i don't know if they will honor it.

    should i call them in the morning once i receive my order or should i email them and try that way?

    From what I understand, what you do is go through with the order until you get to the payment page. Then you select "convert to quote". They theoretically send you an email but don't. Save the page (or print it). Use the new customer number and order number to find it online. The quote will be good for somewhere around a month and it will say so on the quote page. You have up to 21 days after the ship date of your computer to get the quoted price (if still good) matched. I understand this can only be done once.

    Hope this helps.

    i dont see any "convert to quote" anywhere on the page at all

    i see save cart, print cart,email cart, and checkout. but nothing about quotes...

    EDIT: also that link you have there only shows me the system that i already bought...

    i think im doing something wrong

    You have to check out. That means creating an account with email and shipping address. When you get to the page where you enter your credit card info, just don't. There's a link at the very bottom for "convert to quote".
