    Looks like J&R is OOS at the moment, though.

    Regardless, difference sort of comes down to sales tax. J&R = tax on orders shipped to addresses in NY; TigerDirect = tax on orders shipped to addresses in FL, IL, & NC.

    I asked for an E-quote from CompUSA a.k.a TigerDirect. Got a call from them the very next day! Very helpful people and saved me some dough too on the p7801u. Let's just say that my first direct10x game and extrawide laptop cooler is on them! Thank you CompUSA!
