Since you decide to wait the whole 4 hours for a second opinion... 
Let me just tell you that here, the same computer will cost much more than 750$, or even 1300$... but that's here...
Looks nice anyway... is it gonna be the Black Pearl of your Pirates@Home campaign?

I should have ordered it right away.
Since I waited until after Noon Pacific time on a Friday to order it they probably won't ship it until Monday.

For $750, you can wait the couple extra days.

Opinions are like noses - everybody has one. I imagine that you'll be very heppy with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if NewEgg got ti shipped the same day. In my experience they are wicked fast with such things.

No, they didn't. If I had placed the order before noon Pacific time they would have shipped it and I would have had it yesterday. It was packaged and shipped Sunday night, and will be here tomorrow ( Wed )

By the way
New Egg just raised the price from $749.99 to 799.99 and they have listed a new one also for $799 with a slower chip and a smaller Hard Drive.
When these are gone the deal is over..........

But they are not Core 2 duo's they are Pentium Dual cores. They are not as fast in real terms, right. I mean I have a Barton that I can get to run at over 3GHz but it still won't compete with a new design chip.
Not to mention the Gpu. Mine is a 9600 gs. not as good as a 9800m but it should still run most things fine. they have Intel GMA 4500m's
Mine also has a 360 Gig Hd and 4 Gig DDR2. they have 160-2 & 250-3.
All in all I think I did Good...
A friend of mine is buying a Lappy as we speak and she is paying $1050.00 for basically the same machine, it has a slightly better Cpu.

She is getting at Staples (a US office supply store ) cause she won't wait till Monday. It's her money

You can say that again, particularly with the chicken apps on SETI. The C2D version really flies, even with how stingy SETI is nowadays.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I've reduced my resources shrubbing SETI by at least 90%.
