Saw the greatest deal on a desktop ever.
The HPE 180t sells on the HP website for $1100, plus shipping and tax etc.
Here are the specs:
| Code: | # Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
# Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-930 quad-core [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
# FREE UPGRADE! 9GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [5 DIMMs] from 8GB
# FREE UPGRADE! 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive from 640GB
# 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5450 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter] |
But at Costco, they have the "HPE-257c-b" which isn't listed on the HP website but has close specs to the 180t.
Except it has a beefed up gfx card, beefed up 7.1 sound card, comes with a BEAST monitor that I tried out, simply beautiful, and more for only $1300 out the door including tax.

Get it, IMO. Costco has this nice thing(speaking of warranties) where, as long as you keep the box you bought it in, you can turn it in at any point as long as Costco is still in business, and get a new one (or equal store credit... or was it money back?)
EDIT:
err, I meant to imply that you can turn it in whenever you want as in, when it's broken(for any reason). Because you can.

Yeah 90 days is posh, then 2 year warranty on top of that, Costco is my new computer source.
I found out that this bundle (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11535523&whse=BC&Ne=4000000&eCat=BC|84&N=4035050&Mo=32&No=2&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=78518&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&topnav=) is about $1700 from HP, so I'm saving ~$400.
