[Pardus]

You may want to remove the SD referrel links in your posts.

 

[ric1287]

got one, anyone have a guide for XP installation?

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Links fixed. Sorry, did not realize they were referral links.

 

[Severe]

Thanks for fixing the links.

I'm trying to configure this and I'm not seeing the $550 off. You mention it's automatic but I don't appear to get it. Am I missing something?

I believe it might be the link to the 420 that's causing the issue.

 

[ranmaniac]

The link doesn't go to the EPP deal, it's the regular Dell Home offer.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Link fixed I do believe.
I ordered mine and it came to 990, mainly because i didnt want to get the Dell Card.

 

[LetsGoMets]

when does it end? Im going to buy it today and the configured price of right under 1500 with shipping is right under the 1500 i have available with dell. Its been there for over a year untouched.

Question though. Can I ask for an increase as I was hoping to add some higher end speakers and KB+mouse combos. Also any reviews on this current system?

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Don't know when it ends but the price is climbing it seems.

 

[AmishPcFreak]

newb question: with the included Blue Ray ROM player that is included with this system could I play Blue Ray movies and output to my HD TV---sony bravia?

There isn't an HDMI output on this system I would suppose, so would you use a DVI to HDMI tongle or something?

Thanks

Just got it for the OP's price of 895+tax! i just called XPS CS and told them that I had "placed" my order last night when it was still -$550 and it never went through...and now its only -$500...so wtf? throw in some jargon about canceling your order and you're in the clear!

 

[ranmaniac]

I want this system, but I'll get stuck paying tax, which brings the order to $1013

 

[LetsGoMets]

the tax is about 50 to 100 bucks which in some cases still bring it at a decent price. 500 off + 10% + 4% = decent deal. The only issue I have is the psu is only 420 watts and what if I wanted to add an 8800gtx card to the frey? Will dell up the psu watts if I get the 8800gtx? 420 watts for a quad, 8800gtx, and 3gb ram plus more seems a bit on the bottleneck side.

 

[Yo2]

probably as good as if not better than the $748 deal w/o GTX around new year - nice find

 

[RandomFool]

1016 for me after tax. Wicked tempting...

 

[LetsGoMets]

has anyone ordered one yet and had it shipped out?

Mine's not shipping out until the 28th.

 

[drpain714]

same here, 28th of Jan

 

[AnMig]

I have this saved in my cart, mine will come around to $1000

I quickly tried similar configuration at Newegg better Power supply (700 watt)/4gb ram I am at $1600, I think if spent more time I may be able to bring the price down to $1400.

I may be going with the dell.

thanks for hotdeal

 

[LetsGoMets]

ok thanks

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Dell's estimated delivery date for the rig is now the 18th...

 

[LetsGoMets]

wtf? really? is this with the 8800gt and the cablecard tuner? if it went from 28th to 18, that would be awesome.
