Well, was not looking for anything big and massive, but something upgradeable for later, so found a tower, monitor, and mouse without the monitor, which we didn't need anyway, and it's priced $288. It had AMD Athlon Processer, 3.0 mhz, 256 MB RAM, NVIDIA video card with 128 MB RAM. So, thought this would be okay and upgradeable. Went to check out and had gotten a few food items too and the total came to $199 and some odd change. I, of course, was standing there with my mouth open trying to figure out what was going on. Got the receipt and looked and was only charged $148 for the computer! WOW! I stopped one of the managers that I know to ask what was going on, thinking it had been done wrong, and she said that it was one of the sleeper items that they have around the store. They only have "1" of them and there were other things like that in the store, but nobody knew which item for sure, so I hit the jackpot! She said....Congratulations, today was your day! I came out of that store feeling like I had won the lottery! LOL The computer is a Compaq Presario. I've never gotten such a deal or won anything in my life. hehehe
