    Whew, thanks for catching that, I wouldn't have even realized otherwise.

    I am going into this with 2,000 dollars but I really would like to spend somewhere just around the 1,000 area. I found another one, again from Bestbuy... I'm not too good at shopping for computers, only having done it one other time myself. I did find this HP that was a bit more expensive (but that doesn't always mean better), again what do you guys think?

    HP - H8-1040 < --- Don't even look at this one, heh.

    EDIT: Okay so I searched Newegg and I found this much BETTER beast for a cheaper price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883229253
