If it's hacker that put on their web, then I say they have a sh*tty security and always call them to verify when I buy something.

I do believe that Dell has the right to protect itself from price mistakes as they state in their terms and conditions.
Here's the exact text from the acknowledgement and confirmation, I'm sure it's on their site before you order, too:
Please note that Dell cannot be responsible for typographical or other errors, and reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such errors.
Although dismissing anything you don't like with "[we] cannot be responsible for ... other errors" is a little weak and I wonder how legally binding this statement really is. I'm sure they can afford more lawyers than I can, though.
Edit: And while I agree that I won't exactly feel 'defrauded' by Dell when my order is cancelled, this really has to stop. Companies need to be held accountable for their mistakes -- if not by sending the systems at the offered price, then by something that is actually of value to the end-user (not a $20 coupon). BestBuy is the worst offender on this front, certainly. Frankly if they'd send me the system and not honour the $100 MIR I'd take that as a reasonable settlement (though they'd probably still be losing money on the deal).

I started to boycott dell after last year's rebate scam they pulled.
For all those defending them: if you are long enough on these boards, you would see a pattern emerge.
Every few month dell scams people with these tricks to get consumers information and attention.
They have a great marketing machinery, most uneducated people BELIEVE dell has good products, but they use the cheapest components and the dirtiest sales tactics (just as this one).
I was suprised to learn that many IT departements in universities boycott dell for the same reason.
They are professionals, they should know.
Since last year I do an active badmouthing (basically stating the facts) in meetings and parties and redirecting people to other opportunities.
