    The $2199 one was available at both Best Buy and Buy.com. It wasn't there very long. There is no information on the best buy site about it, but at the Buy.com it says that it is backordered. The only thing is I haven't heard of anyone actually getting one of these monsters.

    From what I understand the main reason is that the graphics card 9800GTX is the reason for the delays. Not just for these Toshiba models.
