I just want to say that this thread alone has kinda turned out to be a wiki. I get lot of information here. I rarely check other threads anymore. Thanks to all who are actively sharing information.
Side note: I requested my order to be on hold until 08/01. But, my SA released the hold on it on 07/01 without informing me. I randomly checked my order on the website only to find that it has been released. I called him up and he argued with me saying that I requested for hold only until 07/01. I ended up convincing him that it is 08/01 by showing him my signature on this forum
. Also, he first mentioned that I can comfortably hold for 6mo and he can push beyond that if required (I was optimistic about fed rebates and also in the middle of a mortgage application). Now, he says he can only hold until 08/01 due to demand (which seems illogical to me). And at this point, all I need to convince him is to at least hold until my mortgage application is finished. I think I am no longer gonna wait for the tax credits.
