Default Re: i want to buy a new desktop computer from dell

Wow, that's pretty sweet for that price.

Daryn, were you just going to use the computer for poker, surfing the web, and other light usage? I just got a 4700 on the $750 off $1500 deal last week. Its obviously less powerful than the one listed above: 2.8GHz, 80GB HD, etc, but all I'm really using it for is poker, and its got plenty of horses for that. Instead of bumping the price of the desktop up to $1500, I just made a couple changes to get it to about $1000 and then got a 2005FPW with it. After taxes, I figure I ended up paying about $350 for the desktop.

If you're looking for a monitor first, and a desktop that's mainly for poker second, this is the only way to go. If I remember correctly, Dell's end of first quarter is right around now, and the speculation was that the crazy deals were coming out because they were trying to bump revenues.
