Ya that was cute eh cost more to ship it ! :O That and the dreaded rebate .

[S!X]

Save up your cash and just go all out and buy something nice. You wont get much of anything for 250...

Microcenter has $200 off everything instantly if u buy Vonage. I've seen a PC for $50. Without the rebate it would still make your budget, although its a celeron based computer but as long as you use it for basic computing it won't matter.
