As you stated a few hundred below the rest of the pack, personally I think some research into how they are saving the money would be wise
I know a good chunk of the savings is coming from the ability to opt for no OS installed...hardly any of the other outfits offer that option. I'll do some more checking including talking with them soon.

Oh yeah, in the original configuration I selected the 670 graphics...an upgrade over the 470M in the Toshiba atm for sure. This one will not be a gamer and I selected the 3610 cpu over the 3630 to save a bit...didnt see an extra $115 worth in the other cpu for my purposes.

Just thinking out loud here...Is there any way I could leave the hdd in the incoming MSI intact with Win 8 and add the ssd with Win 7 for a dual boot scenario? Maybe use the hdd for storage as well?
