That was a nice looking desktop. :) Sorry to hear it doesn't have UEFI
capability yet. Hopefully soon.

The sale might have been at the Office Depot at Portrero that was going out
of business. There no longer are any Office Depots (at least in SF) because
they merged with Office Max awhile back. I was at the Office Max on
Harrison earlier this evening and saw the Penguin flash drive, except it
had 8 GB and was selling for $14.99.
