Not too shabby, it is harder to get a better discount the 15% right now.

Not to shabby, saved $539. About a 17.5% discount which I was happy with. Didn't do much haggling. It's late and I wasn't in the mood. lol I had headaches ordering through regular EPP reps, wrong orders, cancels ect, so I went to Team Blackhawks Ben from Facebook. Great guy. Plus I don't pay taxes or shipping since I'm having it shipped to Iraq. So I really can't complain.

Obviously when it gets here it's going to look like my sig since I have stuff ready to be installed.

Also wanted to take the first post on page 100 to celebrate 100 pages of savings in 3.5 months. I wonder if I could add up the total for the amount everyone saved, what it would add up to. Take that dell!
