I bought my computer at Best Buy. The PC and the moniter were about like $700 and then + the Geek Squad service for 3 years and something about the warranty rounded off 2 about another 200 dollars so it cost me about $900 but it's a very good computer that just came out. They also gave me a free printer to go along with it. Oh yea u can't forget tax...so that's about $950 for the whole thing? Anyway what about you all?
