YMMV -- BestBuy.ca has this computer available for In Store Pick-up only. You cannot order it online and have it shipped. Not all locations have this comptuer in stock.

NOTE: During the checkout screen, add the digital dollars code: PIZZZ020205435275577 to get $20 off your order (from $349.95 down to $329.95). I thought you needed the order to be $350+ but I did not need to add any filler item when I entered the code to get the discount

Unfortunately this item is not available in Nova Scotia. But I tried 2 locations in Quebec and both have the machine in stock so you can do in store pickup at these locations.

If you can find this item in stock at your bestbuy location I think its a very hot deal.

I would like to know also?

This system has a quad core processor (4 cores) vs 2 core on the other.

The other machine has a slightly bigger hard drive (640GB vs 500GB) and has HDMI out capability

However this machine is SFF (small form factor)

For me, I'd rather the quad CPU over the HDMI out and 140GB extra HDD space. However depending on what you want to use it for, you may choose differently.

better processor - Intel Core Quad 8300 vs Intel E5200 2.5Ghz. Similar specs otherwise. So yeah, in my opinion it's a better deal

This one has a better processor. It's OOS online though.

[4gen_accord]

On the main page, it says:

1 HDMI output, 9 USB 2.0 ports, 1 FireWire, and an integrated memory card reader

However, under the spec it says No for HDMI port...i hate when they do this.

Also, this has built in Wi-fi.

I like this bestbuy deal better. The specs on it is better than the one at CC and also if you want a small form factor machine, let say beside your tv, this is great for that.

The only thing I wouldn't look forward to in this PC is for gaming. Why? Althought it has 1 pci-e x16 slot available, you only have a 220watt power supply, maybe you can put a nvidia 9600 in there. I believe the better video card requires high power.

But overall it's great if you just want internet and word processing.

Jumped on the deal for pick up. Hopefully they have one in stock.
Digital dollar also worked flawlessly.
Thanks OP

[jeffyjaixx]

Is it only one per customer? I have a few relatives that are also interested in this.

[Xsaving]

with HDMI output or without? Confused!

The other machine has a slightly bigger hard drive (640GB vs 500GB) and has HDMI out capability

Specs say this includes HDMI out (it's the same graphics card) so it's really 120GB vs +2cores and SFF. Would have to say: this trounces the other.

If HD space is really important, you can put a 500GB drive in for +$50.
