That'd be awesome. I'm not sure how much money they'd give for it though nor have I heard of it ever being done before. Someone PLEASE prove me wrong about the latter )

you wouldn't want the gfitcard. i think the one that got one only got like $500 or $550. just get the cyberpower, it's an awesome pc for $599.

Aye, but I've been researching different systems on Cyberpower's site, and it honestly makes more sense for many people to get giftcards. First off, Cyberpower no longer stocks the aspire Xplorer cases, so it'd be rather hard to get them to ship any out =P Next, the computers come with both Windows XP ($83 if included) and a GeForce 6200 ($40 if included). In the rare case that you really suck at math, that's $123 that I wouldn't be using. That doesn't even mention the fact that I don't need any optical drives or speakers, totalled together for another $40. I'd rather take that money and put it towards getting an uber partial rig and then spend my own money to trick it out. Just me though...

no matter which one i get, it will go on ebay.. so id take a gift card any day. ive researched all the pcs and they all pretty much fetch under $500. with shipping and ebay fees, i wouldnt make $500 with any of them. they are simply outdated and much more could be gotten at $500 in terms of pcs.
