When you purchase a ASUS P5K motherboard you can get Vista Home Premium for $99. Can I use this price for Vista in my list?

NCIX has records of their prices of course.

Sure.

Do contest system builds include assembly and testing? I'm an intermediate user and would be more comfortable with professional assembly than doing it myself. A similar system to mine in the system builder (intel value desktop) says build and test $50, but then in step 3 it says $0.00 for assembly and testing and actually drops $50 compared to the previous step. I split the difference in my config and said $25 to build and test. Please advise.

If you win, I'm sure NCIX will throw in the building.

If I make a list at a date after one of the sales... can I use the old sale link?

It dose not matter if you use the sales like because you have to use the regular price before sales and rebates. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I am sure that you need to use the regular price.

No, in this particular contest, you can use the sale prices from multiple sales.

ok thanks for clearing this up because i thought it was original prices only, thats nice to know, cause I did mine one the original price not sale price, but thats ok cause I dont need any more things and its still under the 1500 mark, but thanks agian for the clarification.

Good question, and good to note for those who want a nice laptop.

Today the Acer laptop which quite a few people have put on their list is on sale for $1399.99

Acer 5920-6313 Core 2 Duo T5250 GeForce 8600M GT 2GB 160GB 15.4IN WXGA HD-DVD Vista Premium Notebook

Which leaves $100 for some more treats.

I tossed this printer in the mix ($89).
Samsung ML-2010R Laser Printer 22PPM 8MB 1200X600DPI USB

Good luck to everyone, and don't hate me if I win for being a n00b. (I have been around since 2003, but prefer to browse rather than post a lot).

GENERAL RULES
1. The contest is open to legal residents of Canada who are residing in Canada, excluding Quebec, and who have reached the age of majority in the province or territory in which they reside.

Yet another contest that excludes people from Quebec

Blame that on Quebec for wanting there own laws...

Does the new sale that starts tonight qualify for the contest? If we get the prices in by midnight tonight on our list?

Yeah, I know about those stupid laws. But it's just frustrating to be excluded from every contests on the net! (sorry about that, I had to say it! Let's hope it will change someday...)
