300 bucks barebones

[TBJ]

Tiger Direct has a hot buy, wish I had waited before upgrading my system.

Strange that they'd include a triple-channel kit of RAM with a dual-channel motherboard. Also, I think that can be considered a complete system.

Damnit... I just bought the $299 kit off newegg's shellshocker yesterday... an AMD A6 rig, minus optical drive ~__~

You failed to mention its AR of $40. 2 x $20 on the same set of patriot ram. Read the rebates carefully before purchasing.

If one were to be a bit anal/technical, no mouse/KB is included, so mostly ready to go.

From the Product Information page, it looks as though TD is including two separate RAM kits in the bundle. Hence the 2 x rebates for RAM.

or even a bit more anal / technical, no screen.

Does this include a patch cable?

I guess this deal is for everyone that missed the Core2 craze several years ago.
