doubt it's too loud.

Quote from laphroaigh : Incorrect- a HOT DEAL is not the best price AT THE MOMENT.

I agree...

BTW another $25 of if you purchased Staples gift cards ($25/$20) from discover. Staples allows up to gift cards per purchase. I used my cash back to purchase 5 x $25.

Given that it is most surely a Socket 1155 motherboard than you can probably put any 1155 chip in it with the caveat of a bios upgrade for 3rd gen Ivy bridge processors, yes is the answer to upgradeable.

Will windows still be genuine after upgrading the processor?

Hmm... ...it's usually the MoBo MAC address that Win OEM is locked to, I think

Quote from stickycash : The day we get a vote-down system is the day these types of senseless, unhelpful post will cease to exist. Pure TC

Pointing out that this isn't anything special because you can pick up a similar system for a good chunk of change less from Lenovo Outlet is threadcrapping? Wow, you got some thin skin and you aren't even the OP. I guess I won't mention the ones I picked up for sub $200 then because you might have a breakdown

Can this computer be upgraded with both graphics card and power supply?

Quote from eSurfer : Then why didn't you share that information with us then, but now just moan and brag?

Moan and brag? If you aren't around enough to have picked up i3 systems in the $200 range from their outlet, you should spend more time here.

I think everyone recognizes that the slick in the 2 FP deals is the coupon code. Docdeals deserves credit for being the first to share with the SD community.

I'm really surprised to see an SD editor repost the coupon code for two otherwise market average priced items and then self promote to FP.

There are 256 items eligible on Staples for the coupon (could be off in my count). Makes no sense to post all 256 and call them deals when the coupon code is what makes these 'Slick'.

Quote from mojoblow : Anyone know if I can used Lenovo window 7 recovery disc from a laptop I bought and install window 7 on this desktop?

Is it just a Windows 7 disc with Windows 7 install files needed for recovering from the recovery partition on the laptop? Or is it an actual recovery image created when firing up the laptop for the first time?

You can use any media and key per Microsofts Windows 8 downgrade guide provided the downgrade is an eligible OS.

Q. Where does the system builder or end user get the Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, or Windows XP x64 Edition media disk to perform the downgrade?
A. The downgrade media can be media associated with any prior legally licensed version from the OEM system builder or retail channels. Additionally, end users who are licensed separately through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs may provide their Volume Licensing media and key to a system builder to facilitate the downgrade on their own systems.
