DELL 2001FP 35% off and other deals

[fluff]

I just did the whole thing.

First use the 25% off coupon. (They say 30% on the link under that, but that is wrong apparently. It's only 25% for 2001FP).

Then I signed up for the Dell Preferred account thing (approved instantly), get another 10% off $250. You also get 0% APR until 2006, if you want. I think you have to use the Dell Preferred method to pay if you want the extra 10% off.

Then went to Ebay and bought a $35 off coupon for $10 (could probably go lower, moments after I saw a "Buy It Now" for only $6).

Apply everything, and got my 2nd 2001FP for $474 before tax.

Poker is easy work for a computer. You're not exactly rendering high-resolution animation. Any new one is probably more than enough. Study up on graphics cards before buying. When they talk about "gaming" they're talking about video games, not poker. Again, poker is fairly easy work for a graphics card. You just need one that will run the resolution and number of monitors you want, not one that will run next year's hottest video games, unless of course you do that too. The difference in price on just the video card can be hundreds of dollars.

what is the diffenence or is there one between the 2001 digital flat panel and 2001 flat panel display? they are both listed when i go to order my computer from dell, but one says save 450 and the other one doesnt? arent they the same thing?

I love the S/H these guys are listing. $0.99 for the coupon, $4.99 for S/H. LOL

I could smuggle a few of these across the border to canada if that's legal (which would make it not smuggling i guess).

Sounds like it will work fine for poker. One question though, how much is it. Reason I ask is its probably cheaper to do the 8400 on the small business site and add a 20" screen there, then go to the home site and order your 2nd monitor.

Edit: configured the 8400 + 2001FP machine on small business and its $1376 - 100 rebate (+ tax). Then you are only left with buying one more 2001FP for your dual monitors.

thanks for response - its 841 - 10% -35= $722

will be around 1700 with 2 2001fp
