wow looks like an amazing deal.

DestruyaUR · Jan 20, 2005

AAFES is kind of hit and miss - you can either find good/great bargains once in a blue moon, or be better off going retail.

Having been stationed overseas, though - they can be a godsend.

imported_IronHead · Jan 20, 2005

Awesome deal I just picked one up for my wife

AStar617 · Jan 20, 2005

Damn, gotta tell my cousin about this (in the Navy, stationed at Norfolk, VA).

allisolm · Jan 20, 2005

Thanks! Snagged one to replace husband's 266MHz not-so-screaming machine. Someplace to park that almost FAR CD-RW drive and the extra $16.50 80GB hard drive. Can't beat it for $72 total price (love the no tax, no shipping.)

Do you think it would be wrong to get this from a relative (like an inlaw or a cousin)?

If they buy it and give it to you as a gift, there's nothing wrong with it. If they buy it and you pay them for it and you don't have AAFES privileges, then that inlaw or cousin could lose his AAFES access for life. You decide how wrong it might be and if they want to take the chance of being caught.

Went over to Grandpas house.... bought him a new pc using his access, grandma too for her sewing room.... give grandma a newish handmedown or a not too shabby system fer $72..., was an easy choice

P&N buddy.

Make sure you deselect the $119 Training package, when you configure your system!!!

Ok so maybe I am missing it here but my web browsers will not let me de-select this option. I am thinking this would make for a nice cheap HTPC with a few tweaks and a new case.

From what I'm reading over at FW, you can no longer deselect that, which kills the deal.

Well seeing as this deal is for active duty and Retired I will just say that regardless of how you feel about todays members of the armed forces, the older retired folks who served in WW2, at least deserve some sort of respect and a hot deal now and then, for going to war (in national defense) under a nearly unanimous act of congress, which undeniably falls under the articles of the United States Constitution.

PsYcHo · Jan 20, 2005

yeah i just tried, couldnt get it deselected... was gona get my mom a new system but not worth it now.

moonsite · Jan 20, 2005

You have to click on Create Order Requisition. Otherwise it won't show up in the cart.

wrxsuby · Jan 20, 2005

I also could not get it deselected

Swanny · Jan 20, 2005

Doh! If only I were active duty already

Piss off.

OPS, where did you find where it says limit to 2 rebates per household? If you order different systems, can you get more than two?

Coolgreany · Jan 21, 2005

The rebate form says: "Limit 2 systems per employee."

Gnarly · Jan 21, 2005

You don't have to be active. Reserves and guard works as well.

The easiest way to know is to enter your SSN and birthday at login. If you get accepted, you're eligible. Although I can't imagine not knowing if you have AAFES privileges.

"Access to the Exchange Online Store is restricted to:
Active Duty Military
Military Retirees
Reserves
National Guard personnel
Department of State Officials serving in foreign countries and dependants of the above."

allisolm · Jan 21, 2005

Woot! Mine shipped today! Doing a little happy computer dance. :music::music:

wrxsuby · Jan 21, 2005

can someone tell me how to get the 119 thing off?
