often,dell throws in free 256 ram upgrade...much more useful than wireless mouse/key.I noticed the deal they are offering is P4 and u get a 17 inch monitor so that aint bad at all.
I do notice they give you no dvd drive and cheap speaker system.If you already have a monitor i would say this deal is sucky.
The best deals are when they dont offer the monitor or you can choose no mon.That takes 100 bux off the price!I bought my dell online last jan. after going thru various price configs for about 6 weeks til i got a super deal.I think right now pc prices will be high cuz its the beginning of the school season but come oct/november they're gonna be blowin them out the door for xmas.
Wait a little if you wanna save.Also check out the link for dell small business section-u can buy there also.And techbargains.com is great...Also beware that some dell deals last only a day and can change suddenly even as your typing out your order.To get the killer deals you have to be vigilant and check often.
