Reed, Sweed, Brad K and NoOne... sounds like a law firm.
Sorry, guys... I already have a pretty good law firm: Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.
Thanks for your help... you guys helped me get a good deal on a pretty fair computer, I think... but, more so, something my old reliable gaming computer guy is happy with.
I haggled with HP and Dell and saved $67 on the basic price... both wanted $1349 at first... HP came down to $1282... so I bought it.
My frugal computer friend redesigned and lowered the specs and saved me over $340 off of the highest priced unit that I priced and was going to order until he told me he would help me.
Here is what I am getting:
