I just tried it. $2,044 with just a base 500GB hard drive. Switching to 3x 1TB SSDs bumps the price up to $4,944. This also includes a required graphics card upgrade. So the storage and graphics upgrade adds $2,900 to what was previously a $2,044 laptop. It's hard to tell the exact breakdown, but the storage appears to be responsible for between $1,500 and $2,000 of that $2,900 (and this is after a 20% coupon applied).
