So one would think you walk in and walk out with a computer for $450 bucks plus tax....
but if you read the small print at the bottom of the ad it says...
769.99 - $100 in Compaq mail-in rebates - $50 HP mail-in rebates - $150 Circuit City mail-in rebates - $20 Compaq Instant Savings = 449.99
So you really have to pay $749.99 plus tax to walk out of the store with it and wait I'm sure 6 to 8 weeks for the fucking rebates to come in

I bet a pretty high percentage of people either forget to send in the rebates, or dont fill out the forms right and never get paid. Its pretty much a ripoff.
