You are correct, although Holly in customer service said it would cost more
to order separately, Glenn at gateway@aol.com said the following:

It will not cost to order it separate if you had to cancel.  Tell add-ons
that it was originally with a system, and you cancelled to allow shipping,
and they will allow the $149.00 price.  You will not be penalized because of
shipping problems.
