I just checked with customer service. They had limited supplies and are all out. The $10 Courtesy coupon was to replace a $10 gift card I had used on the order.

I just received an e-mail from Staples regarding my order. "Unfortunately, the inventory on the item you ordered is depleted and the item has been discontinued.We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we have issued a $10 courtesy coupon which you will recieve within 3-4 weeks. You were not billed for this item"

The differences between the e-machine computers at BB and CC are minor. The CC machine has a larger 160GB hard drive as opposed to 120GB for the BB model. The CC version also has a DVD dual-layer Burner as compared to the BB DVD player/CD burner. As was pointed out earlier, it comes with a 17" Crt monitor instead of the 15" LCD monitor from BB. You also have to lay out $490 up front and wait for $290 in various rebates to get the price down to the advertised $199.97. I'll be going to BestBuy unless CompUSA comes up with a better deal.
