I got the $99 computer last year at OD. Do not wait in line for it! Come back to OD later in the AM after you have most of your shopping done. They gave us a flyer in line and when we walked in they directed us over to the computers to order it online at the store. And I waited for hours - bad move! Check out the Tech Depot link on the OD website and configure/make/order a bare bones computer (deselect some options). I bought the computer at OD, then a 128MB video card, and 1GB RAM chip at COMPUSA. Good computer, select some of the options at OD when you order - check your final price - or buy some other cheap add-ons on BF and you have a good deal.
From what I can see, the OD desktop this year $99 + $99 shipping so a total of $198 after rebates. 4 rebates for $360 is more that I am willing to do. I don't do a ton of rebates but I've done a few everywhere-Best Buy, Fry's, CompUSA, OD, OM, etc - followed all the terms and OD was the worse in terms of having to follow up because they didn't process.
