YMMV I was just checking the page for this computer and it came up in stock in Richmond BB so I ordered one for pickup right away. Don't let this chance slip again!

Couldn't get any of the coupons to work, but pulled the trigger anyways. This will be my second attempt (first time the order went through, but was canceled the next morning). Hopefully this time I'll be a little more lucky.

My second time trying as well, pays to stay up a bit later.

A number of GVA stores show they have stock, but if you place the order and check the order status, it will show 'out of stock'.

I couldn't get any coupons to work either, but at $350 is still a pretty good deal in my books.

When I was still debating, the Coquitlam store had one. Now it's OOS. Seems like Abbotsford still has it -- but way too far to drive.

Slips through the fingers once again.... > :(

wow, ordered instore with 20$ coupon and filler. thanks.

now to decide between this or the acer easystore for 230$ from staples. i have an extra antec sonata case sitting around, so i can fit four drives if i transfer the quad to that case. decisions, decisions, lol.

who knows, maybe i will keep both. :P

thanks OP!

EDIT; damit, missed the 95 cent filler. could have saved a dollar. maybe i'll just try not to buy the bag when i do instore pickup.

Not sure if all these units are phantom? Even if you can "order" it, there's no guarantee until it's "ready for pickup" email is rec'd.

If Richmond (Sat) and Vancouver BB (Thurs) had stock, I couldn't find it on the floor. I checked. The gas to Abbotsford would eat up the $20 coupon savings, but $349 would still make the deal hot.

Stock of these are generally in the back so your only real shot at getting the deal is doing an order online then ISPU. I still have some doubts that i'll be able to pick it up tomorrow but its a good deal to replace this media center im using right now. Just got to swap the PSU and video card.

I had a sinking feeling that it may be phantom stock, but still wanted to order one just in case it was there. At least it was a fellow RFDer who got it.

Was at the Richmond BB today, too, and couldn't see any stock of it on the floor.

I just tried ordering and was told no stock available for ispu. IIRC, I was told one time that the stock info is 24hrs old. But anyone in GVRD who can still get one, I'm so jealous! So far, I only recall 1 guy managed to get the demo at the Burnaby BB for $310.

I was @ Metro today and didn't notice any cheap desktops... actually have been @ metro BB the last 4 nights cause i have been shopping @ metro so i decided to stop by BB too.

I wouldn't be one bit surprise if its phantom stock but i figure there's no harm in trying. Heck maybe i'll get another 5% coupon out of this... i ran out of 5% coupons! :cheesygri

Sorry otani but it looks like I was the one who beat you to to punch for coquitlam :twisted: . I too was debating and decided to ISPU at New West and it went OOS on me too, lol.

Hopefully, it's not phantom stock and we'll all get our ISPU email tomorrow.

Two RFDers laying claim to having snaked me on the deal. :-0

When it rains, it pours, I guess.

As an aside, I really hate the way FS and BB's site limits the number of stores when checking stock.

Yeah it can't be that hard to fix. BB US site is so awesome compared to ca. It lists all the stores, and tells you whether they have stock or not before you even pick em.
