I gotta agree, wat a stinker of a deal. At least add in Blu-Ray for this price.

Well I don't agree. I think this is a fantastic bargain.
Consider the $500GB hard drive. That alone is worth 500 giga-billion dollars!
Then there's a Core2 which is actually a quad. That's double the value.
But wait, there's more!
It comes without a screen, which is a clever way to reduce shipping costs!
It also is delivered with Win32 Vista, which reduces your usable memory to a maximum of 3.2GB, which allows you to sell the other 0.8GB on ebay!
The icing on the cake is the fact that this is made by Dell: 'nuff said.
Why, I think I'm in for 100 and I will keep 50 and resell the others at a vast profit.
This is exciting!
