Woah... I might get one, that's a lot better than my current computer

I bought one. I was surprised they had any left - but then I saw in the ad (my local ad) they listed the BEFORE rebate/price break price. The CSR was kind of confused when I asked him where the $279 computers were. He eventually figured it out though. He had to ring up the computer (which came up at $349, just like on the website), then he had to add the monitor and printer separately, bringing the price to $559+tax total. Then a crapload of rebate forms printed out.

 

The add was slightly inaccurate - instead of $290 in CC rebates and $80 in MFR rebates, it's $200 in CC rebates, $90 instant price break, and $80 in MFR rebates. Which makes it a slightly better deal for those of us in states that have sales tax, because you pay sales tax on the after price-break but BEFORE rebate price (so I paid tax on $559, not $649 or $279).

mugs - What about those states which have 0% sales tax?
