    Oops, the deal expired, since the normal price is $1000+, so even with Promo Code, it's still over $800.

    yep, guess I was the sucker that didn't though

    Looks like many jumped as that configuration does not even appear on their website anymore, they probably sold out.

    Guess now I can wait for the similar deal to come along
