Mine was only $1159, with a Q6700 (2.66GHz) included 750GB HD & 64 Bit vista Ultimate. In your list take out the ram (since I'm replacing mine) and the Video card (since I consider that temporary), up your processor, HD, and OS, and see what you come up with. I expect to pay more, but now I don't have to deal with something that's loud and if anything goes wrong I have someone to call, no more mysterious instability issues.. (is it the ram / cpu / mb, RMA cycle). To each his own. Just bought one from HP. Mine was only $1159, with a Q6700 (2.66GHz) included 750GB HD & 64 Bit vista Ultimate.
