Wish lists work for other people when they're logged into their newegg accounts, and each wishlist gets a unique URL. After you make so many wish lists, old ones start getting deleted.

Assuming you get the $10.00 rebate... thats $485 including Tax and Shipping.
Points of upgradability and features-
1. CPU, Its socket AM3, so may be used on future AM3 boards with DDR3. It also may hold a "hidden core" and its a Black Edition. ;-)
2.Case and Form Factor, Its small, so you can tote it off to LANs and such.
3. PSU, its power efficient due to the EA430. Very well capable of handling this system.
4. HDD, 250GB... enough for some games... and movies.
5. Keep the $$ if you chose this... ;-) Don't need it. Put it towards something else.. that you think may be needed/changed on this setup.
