... i got in way late on this one... and i'll be in way late for the next woot also, btw... that's besides the point... IT'S SOLD OUT!... but if you want one, there's lots of places still selling hewlett packard pavilion stuff... you gotta get it???... then go get it... comparison sites still have decent deals... and those who don't have decent deals still have great deals on similar makes and models... ... whether you call it hp hewlett packard or high prototype (which would be incorrect), it's all you... so do that... media center pc is the future of pc... don't forget an extra hp power supply... go ahead and take care of that.

... some times i wonder about woot... really... who wants some flash drive that they give away free when you blow over $50 on blackjack in vegas??... isn't that what this thing is?... i'm not even sure.. all i know is NO comparison sites or review sites have this 4gb flash drive... i have no clue what to say about it... instead, i've provided useful links to other 4gb usb memory card, and larger... there are tons of 4gb usb memory card thingies available for a reasonale price... even some from "known" manufacturers like sandisk or sony... so.. my suggestion... stay away from excalibur... the burden that comes with it is far to great for you to bear... go onto shopping.com or shopzilla or whatever and get a nice lexar secure digital card or a sandisk 8gb flash drive... excalibur is too much for you to handle, mere wooter.
