If I had seen this post less than a week ago, I might not have just ordered one for my wife.  It is a refurbished unit from IBM for about $400... funny that the cost of the whole is less than even one of the parts :/

LOL! My thoughts, exactly. Is the one you ordered a model with the Nvidia chip? I wonder whether during their "refurb" of the system they reflow the solder around the GPU or, for a $400 resale, just trust to luck and chalk whatever returns they get up to warranty expense.

Cheers, buddy.
