you can also get the desktops for cheaper as well if you shop through the outlet stores. a lot of manufacturers will sell open box and refurbished hardware for less than new, and the only difference will really only be some minor cosmetic blemishes at the most. sometimes you can find places that sell hardware components open box or refurb as well, such as Tech for Less here in Colorado Springs
