I agree, and with the prices of 920 so low now, id say its a great idea.
Keep an eye on microcenter.com, at $199, the 920 sells like hot biscuits!

whats the dif between the CO and DO? I got the CO.. but im happy with it. and pretty soon, the only real upgrade i'll be able to do is a processor upgrade (I'm not going to water cool until this computer needs to be replaced/2nd build) but the 920 has alot of horsepower and i can wait for the prices to drop alot for processor upgrade.
