But showed other stores at clearance price.

Usually not a grammar Nazi, but it is quiet and not quite. I had no idea what anyone was talking about as I was reading this thread. I'm glad that it's quite quiet though (see what I did there)!

For an HTPC the HD1000 iGPU is completely enough for 1080p, no need for a graphics card unless your doing some games that might need it.

Were you actually able to get the i3 2130 for that price?
If so, are you happy with it? And was it refurbished? I still don't see any on that website anywhere close to this i3-540 deal.

Well you got a smoking deal on that i3 if it is what you say. You seem to have gotten the best deal on that thread from what I read and there were just a handful if that.

I know Best Buy's description said something about HD3000, but this is Intel HD, nothing more.
