Smokin deal - Compaq AMD64/3400 $450 AR

[mike808@users.sourceforge.net]

This is a smoking deal. Even if you have to wipe the crappy OS that comes with it. Or live with a dual boot, if you must.

American TV & Electronics is opening up three new stores in the Saint Louis, Missouri area.

Bridgeton - 5665 St. Louis Mills Blvd
Fenton - 751 Gravois Bluffs Blvd
O'Fallon, IL - 1237 Central Park Dr

Their Grand Opening sales are running October 10-16th.

They've got a Compaq SR1090NX on sale for $444 AR. $594 - $50 Compaq MIR - $100 American MIR.

My takehome price with tax: $639 (before rebates, in MO)

Assuming you dealt with all the hassle of purchasing from unknown OEM vendors, the above would cost you at least $750 and you would have to put it together yourself and pray it all works.

There's only 100 machines per store, and there's three stores in the St. Louis area.
I expect these loss leaders to be gone soon!

I have no idea if they are offering the same sale at their other non-St. Louis stores.
