    Plus a $75 dollar "assembly fee". Spoils it for me. :budget:

    Well that sucks!!! I was planning on going to order one today. What exactly did they say? Seems like a scam to me. HP has never charged an assembly charge for their comps. Maybe staples is starting to add hidden fees to make an extra buck.

    Gotcha thanks for the link!
    Employee priced v2000 starts at 399 so I guess the 75$ assembly fee is their profit margin then.....interesting.
