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.
