you aint the only one... bought a shit load of stuff from there deals (most of the shit i didn't even need, impulse purchases )...

With all that shit, its not a bad deal at all.. one thing, see if you can increase the processor for a better one.... like hte T7000 series....

but its a good deal... it will be a bitch to carry that thing around but if its meant for mainly as a desktop replacement go for it.. if u have the cash to spare..
