In the end, how much cheaper was the X-Raid via the powerbuy? Want to determine whether it's worth holding off until the next one, or jump on it now.

If you buy a diskless XRAID and then buy separate disks at street prices, then you're pretty close to the PowerBuy price. The big savings came on the disks. Normally, they charge a premium to ship you a system that's ready to go, out of the box. Do-it-yourself installation is reasonably painless, so if you want it now, that's how I'd do it.
