Dell 9300 Experience Wanted - Page 2

yeah, i just ordered one today for 1150. Used the 750 off an a 100 off Delf coupon. Go to their site and play the Delf game until you win a 100 off coupon. Also do the DPA financing to save another 2%. ended up at 1150 a loaded model.

yeah..there's no reason to pay $2k for it.

Mine cost $1500....but I had mine paid for completely by a different company so I didn't have to really scratch and claw to every little savings (absolute poker wanted to buy my old computer to look at the probs I was having...they bought me a new one...thread on this originally in June).

I had one $750 coupon for it I think so it would have 'normally' been $2250 as I recall.

What is the diff between these 2 options?

Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition add $0

Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 [Included in Price]

Yeah, I tried the $750 off coupon (starts with "$3") but it wouldn't allow it. Just to make sure, could you give me the exact code you used?

I planned to use fatwallet's 3% rebate, but wonder if there'll be problems combining with the two coupons.

The $1999 has to be the system. If you've added things like carrying bag, mouse or anything external, that doesn't factor into what gets discounted.

Just came from the site, still refuses the $750 coupon.

Now the price is $100 higher, $2144, but it shoves in a $500 coupon.

Are we all talking about the same model? There are 3 levels for the 9300 -- I'm talking about the top one, the only one with the WUXGA option. The cheap version is only $999.

As for the Delf golf game, couldn't find it anywhere on the site or anywhere else.

The 3 9300s on the site are just the same computer with different options. You could build up the $999 on to be more expensive than the $2000 one.

For the Delf game go to www.dell.com/holiday I think.

I can't get the $750 coupon to work either. It says that it cannot be used with a weekly discout or something so I think the $500 thing makes it so it won't work. Does anyone know if you can refuse the $500 so you can use the $750? I tried increasing the cost of the computer so that it would still be over the 2k even with the $500 but it still woulnd't let me use the $750 coupon.

make sure u get one of the 7200rpm harddrives. They are one of the biggest bottlenecks of many systems. This is help with faster imports, quicker load times, etc.

People said $230 for this option was not worth it, too expensive.
