I'm still waiting to see if the processor deal went through. I got an email for my add ons seperately. I'm a little nervous! :confused:

Good luck, keep us posted. Hope it goes through.

I got an email confirmation! Keeping my fingers crossed that they don't tell me it was an error and I can't have it. *crosses everything*

I had a friend who tried to buy one and she got a message saying her credit card was denied. She ended up calling Hewlett Packard and they said the coupon was a 'mistake'.

I'm not sure why they shouldn't honor it. I recently bought a monitor from Dell using a coupon from Logic Buy and had no problems. I guess it was too good to be true. I'm sorry to get your hopes up.

Well, I didn't even use the Logic Buy coupon code. LOL I didn't see that until afterwards. So, I only used the deals on the HP website.

Still positive, but not holding my breath. We shall see what happens!

For anyone feeling like being a do-it-yourselfer, Newegg.com is an excellent place to start. That said, go buy your hard drives locally at some place like Frys or Best Buy.

My order was cancelled. It was a pricing error. :( Of course they already processed the accessories part of my order and those are no good to me now. LOL

and they gave me a coupon so I just got myself a desktop for about $300 after all was said and done.

I'm happy.
