CableCARD Out At HP Again?

I purchased one of these and received it ~7/6; when I started it up it sounded like a table saw (nice feature for a media PC) and I shut it down after ~1 minute as the sound got worse instead of better. I tried to exchange it with the exact same configuration and HP initially attempted to exchange it for one without the digital tuner which I caught when I checked the status online. When I contacted HP they said that they are not selling the digital tuner at this time (7/10) due to "problems with current configuration". I sent the PC back for a refund.

HP has added the CableCard tuner option back again today. It must be a stock issue.

Try as as anyone might, its near impossible to secure one of these tuners from the grips of HPs hands.

I work in hp warranty repair and the item is never in stock. It is also listed as "non-orderable" for any reason what-so-ever.

Even if I ever could order it... the steep price of $510 is a turn-off when the configured with a HP machine it only adds +$300
