Pretty darned good deal on a nice HTPC, considering a Q6600 alone easily goes for $140 used : Gateway GM5485E
$399.99 with free shipping, $384.99 after applying the usual 5% off coupon (max $15 off) Ignore the upper specs. Called the Buy.com CS and they confirmed that it is a quad-core system. Monitor is NOT included. Credit to AT.
Some people are apparently saying that you could get 9% Live CashBack on this deal, which would make it sizzling! Also don't forget to use your Buy.com VISA if you have one (3% CashBack).

From the Gateway pics though, it looks to be a standard ATX PSU, so the worst that can happen is that I'll have to pop in one of those $5/FAR Ultras that are sitting in my garage

Anyway to get any sort of extended warranty on this? I know of a few people looking to buy a system.

I am looking for a PC but I want to have HDMI output on the mother board. Could people please help me to figure out which one to buy? I don't know much about the techeniques...
Does this have an HDMI output?
how does it compare with this one? http://www.frys.com/product/5748392
Model Number: HP a6567c Refurbished CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.4GHz Memory: 4GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM Video: Nvidia GeForce 9300GE, 256MB Hard Drive: 640GB, SATA, 7200rpm Card Reader: 15-in-1 Memory Card Reader Optical Drive: DVDRW DL RAM Drive Network: 10/100/1000 ethernet connection Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit Warranty: 90 day limited warranty
Buy.com sent me the wrong system. "Buy.com Free Upgrade" sticker on the side of the box. The problem is the "upgrade" is just a wireless mouse/keyboard. The unmentioned "downgrade" is the operating system is 32 bit, and I already bought an additional 4gb RAM to add to the 2gb that comes installed. Guess I'll be sending it back. Now I have to find a system that will accept my RAM. What a waste of time!
200+ replies to this deal over at SD and everyone has some sort of problem with their shipments.
