    I thought I could, but after reading this from the FAQs on xoticpc.com, I'm not so sure anymore.

    Can I use the student discount and the cash discount on one order?

    Well the cash discount is simply the actual price of the computer. When you pay with a credit card, the credit card company takes a small %age of the purchase price for which xotic pc must charge you more so they get their full price and the credit card company gets their %age. I don't see why xotic pc would charge you the credit card price because if you pay the credit card price with cash, they are over-charging you that %age. I may be totally wrong here, but I'm pretty sure you can use both the student and cash discount, as the cash discount isn't so much a discount as it is the actual price of the computer.
