    Once you add in the 8800M (default price is a quadro) and cpu it comes out about the same as the other resellers..maybe even a bit more.

    hmmm, +1 for xotic.

    But it still seems like to much trouble for the discount plus the one at ava comes with a system binder and more options, they give you three options for memory and hard drives, plus more options for accessories.

    It's a 3 year for labor and 1 year for parts, not 3 and 3. Try PCTorque. They seem to have the 3 year Sager warranty for something like 200US.

    One thing I don't get is people bragging all day long about how they score 2 points more than the other.
