Yea, I know it is for a retail system. But I've seen way too many people get a steal on open box, rebates, etc.... I just cannot see paying retail for one.

patience is gonna be required here. I'm sure if you keep a close eye out you'll find the right one. it's probably gonna take some time to actually run accross the deal.

Mainly so I can get some internet and email from a hotel, maybe a dvd here and there if the hotel doesn't have a dvd player in the room.

:thumbup: I know the place that I work, they are constantly sending back out of lease IBM and Dell laptops. Sure they can't play Counter Strike or Call of Duty 2, but they can do spreadsheets and email and some webpages! Damnit it's so frustrating when looking for one when and knowing there are all these ones that are going to be destroyed or something.
