Buying a dell...question about coupons

[Perseus]

So after my laptop kept crashing today and I misclicked because of my 1024 x 700 something resolution, I decided to buy a new Dell computer. I would like to wait one or two weeks to save some more funds to buy a cool 9300 that I saw just come out, but I've got some questions...

...First, I saw some coupons listed here that expire friday morning. How often are these coupons offered? If I waited two weeks, could I find another?

...Second, how do people like their 9300

...Third, is there any catch to going through ebates or fatwallet to get the rebates.

Thanks guys,
Jon

They usually have ridiculous threads full of Dell coupons and reviews.

My recommendation is to buy on eBay. I bought a used Dell Optiplex GX270 for $450 including shipping. It has 3GHz P4 1GByte RAM, 80 GB drive and CD/DVD combo. What I like is that it is small form factor and is extremely quiet. No monitor,keyboard or mouse included but you prolly have those already. The only complaint I have is that it wasn't easy to find a video card for it because it requires a low profile card to fit in its small case. I ended up buying one from DELL, but be careful...some of their sales people/technical support are not competent.
