    it's customize and buy. I highly doubt it's pre-built....

    with enhanced and elite models, you cannot downgrade parts, so maybe they are pre-built like the Dells

    I second that it is a marketing thing and that they did what Dell does.

    There is nothing enhanced about it.

    And I configured a system identical to mine, and it came out $45 more expensive.

    That is the "enhanced" tax, haha
