I love the AT2020 and now the AT2035, both require phantom power, unless you get the USB variants.

Phantasmagoria 1 and 2! Cheesy FMV in all it's glory. Loved those games.

I have two custom PC's sitting next to me I had Win7 Ultimate running on. Upgraded both of them to 10 using the Ultimate serials and they both activated just fine. This was two weeks ago. Microsoft is letting users use their 7 keys and just not advertising it from what I have heard.

Sure a lot of personal opinion being thrown around here as if it were absolutes.

This. Linux has had over a decade of people making excuses for it and promising "Soon it's going to be a legitimate alternative for the every day user!"... It's not. I remember hearing that back over a decade ago and while they have progressed a good bit, they are nowhere near where they must be...

Same here. I download hundreds of gigs week and stopped using newsgroups years ago, just not worth it.

nah, my time is more valuable than yours clearly as I refuse to spend my time scouring the web to save a dollar or two. Prime is convenient for me and their pricing is usually close enough I could care less. I guess if you have to watch pennies that closely you shouldn't be buying the item in...

First sign you're winning an argument when the other person has to start with personal insults. ;)

How long have you worked for Best Buy?

lol You just can't stop can you? They haven't imporved. Maybe the store YOU go to, but overall, no, they haven't improved. Their price matching policies are all over the place and their employees are still pushy potatoes who try to push you to buy their overpriced accessories or crappy extended...

No one outside of their staff would have such an intricate knowledge of their programs and how to cut every penny. I bet he's a Geek Squad member...

Just stop, you sound like one of their corporate cheerleaders. Clearly you work for them or know someone who does. I have been shopping Best Buy since the early 90's and they have sucked the entire time. So stop being obtuse and forcing your Best Buy fanboism down everyone's throats.

I'm very happy with it. I have it stuffed with 18tb's right now, and planning on adding an external enclosure with another 20 here soon. I am definitely happy with the Acer. Nothing offered by Dell, Lenovo or HP came close to the specs for the same price.

So how long have you worked for Best Buy?

I ended up picking up an Acer with the i5 6400, 16gb ram, 96 M.2 SSD, 2tb WD Green drive, wife and bluetooth for $450.
