That's the retail price so unless you can pick it up in store or you don't get taxed through BestBuy.com I'd suggest ordering directly from Apple. Free shipping that way. Or you could try MacMall.com. They may have it a few bucks cheaper.

Jeff,
If there is a college or university bookstore close by you could call them or check their website - they sell to the general public too, and often pass along educational discounts.

What? Damn my university, they actually switched a number of our labs over to imacs over the summer, and I'm 90% sure we can't get any discounts on Apple products.

All higher education stores should give the same discounts. You can also do it online as long as you have a valid student number.

I like those All in One IMACs they remind me of the old Apple II computers of 1984 vintage...absolutely lovely!!
