Dead at Tigerdirect
Tigerdirect [tigerdirect.com] has the ASUS CG5290-BP007 Refurb Gaming Desktop for $799.99 w/ Free Shipping.

Get 8% Cashback from Bing [bing.com] = $800 - $64 Cashback = $736 w/ Free Shipping.

Also Available on Bestbuy [bestbuy.com] for the same price but only 5% Cashback.
Bestbuy charges $30 shipping = $800 + $30 = $830 Shipped, but this deal includes a Razer Arctosa USB Gaming Keyboard, USB Optical 2-Button Mouse, Microsoft Works 9.0 and Nero 8 Essentials.
For 5-15% Bing Cashback, click on the Bestbuy link here. [bing.com] (it says 15%, but you will get 5%)

READ:
I posted that this system is NOT eligible for Windows 7 upgrade because in the last deal for this system @ Barnes and noble, there were several accounts of it NOT working. But seeing as how the offer for a FREE upgrade from Asus lasts until January 31th, everyone better give it a shot!

FREE WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE FROM ASUS [asus.com] , give it a shot!

This item is Refurbished and has a Limited 90-day warranty, which is really not too bad considering Asus gives only a 1-year Warranty on their new desktops. This price for these specs is unmatched even for refurb! --Try configuring it yourself w/ the best slickdeals, it'll be more than $736. This sells for $1000 new @ Bestbuy [bestbuy.com].

Specifications:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
*ASUS Rampage II GENE Intel X58 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
9GB DDR3 Memory
1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 896MB
double-layer DVD�RW/CD-RW
500W Power Supply
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
High-definition audio (7.1-channel support)

This pre-owned product is guaranteed to work and includes a box with original cover art and instruction manual.

DEAL ALIVE AGAIN AT BEST BUY & TIGER DIRECT (current as of Jan 21st, 2010),

BEST BUY HAS EDITED THE PAGE AND REMOVED THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE REFERENCE FROM THE WEBSITE.

How does this discussion get sent to deal talk but the front page listing remains active?

Specifications: (+ best deals available for each item)
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
Link [microcenter.com], $230 B&M @ Microcenter.
ASUS Rampage II GENE Intel X58 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Whoever put up a GENE is retarded... Just get something cheaper... -___-
Link [zipzoomfly.com], $210 shipped from zipzoomfly.
9GB DDR3 Memory
Link [buy.com], (3 x 3GB DDR3, the cheapest on newegg is $80+sh) $67.89 shipped from buy.com times 3 = $203.67)
1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive (lets assume they give you a WD black)
Link [zipzoomfly.com], $90 shipped AR from zipzoomfly.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 896MB
Link [amazon.com] $185 shipped from Amazon. I found an EVGA one for $186 shipped but the url got blocked for some reason.
double-layer DVD�RW/CD-RW
Link [newegg.com], samsung 22x sata $23 shipping from newegg.
500W Power Supply
Link [newegg.com], $36 shipped AR from newegg.
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Cheapest around is $100 at the moment (best i found in stock was a Vista basic DVD for $80 shipped [zipzoomfly.com]), but since windows 7 is the trend will count this as $69 (the best deal on it was $69 shipped)
Asus Essentio Elegant Slant Mid-Tower Case (lol i named it myself)
this is worth at LEAST $30... Link [newegg.com] to NZXT Alpha $30 shipped AR from newegg.

add that up, and your total is easily over $1000. Funny enough this just went down to $1000 NEW on Bestbuy [bestbuy.com].

Bestbuy has both the New for 1k$ and Refurb 800.

IMO 30$ shipping + tax in most states does not make purchasing from bestbuy worth it even if it does include a keyboard and mouse. Versus Tigerdirect's Free shipping and No tax in CA.

BTW Tigerdirect refurbs are Hit/ Miss. MOSTLY hit. Tiger gives you a prepaid ups rma if the computer shows up below expectations so win/win.

I'm gonna try out tigerdirect again. REPPED for insane comp deal < 1000$

Its gotta be an i7. Specs from BB and actual TG specs both mention i7 and nothing about the copied text in TG's specs. Too bad their editors were asleep at the wheel. I'm tempted to get one for someone but their budget isn't here quite yet....here's to hoping for the future!
