I have gotten my order acknowledgement but that was it ... no order confirmation yet ...

 

[whatnow]

Just got one, now where the best place or way to add an Windows XP PRO op system? Thanks

 

[magis123]

The same way you would add WinXP Pro to any other system ... just because Dell calls the 400 SC a "server" doesn't neccessarily mean it truly is a "server" ...

Slap the CD-ROM in the drive ... boot from CD-ROM ... wait the 4 and a half hours and your WinXP Pro will be installed


Mmm ... I got mine ... now I need to pick up 2 sticks of 512 MB RAM and then I will have ...

3.2 GHz P4
1 GB DDR400 RAM
2 x 120 GB WD SE 8 MB Cache HD's
52x Creative CD-Drive
52x/24x/52x Lite-On CD-Burner
16x Sony DVD-Drive
SB Audigy2
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 MB

Just yummy ...

yes, you'll magicly fit the 3 optical drives into this 400sc with 2 5.25 bays. heh

Ordered about half an hour ago 1am.... Just got my confirmation...

Q: For those of us trying to get the 10% off after the fact, where're we supposed to e-mail?

Yes, I was a little slow on the uptake. I'm only beginning to catch on to the deviousness that is the Hot Deals Forum.

I LOVE THIS FORUM.

The 2.8 @ NewEgg is 269, throw in the cost of an 865PE board, an OK case + PSU, keboard + mouse, CDROM, HDD, etc. I'd be looking at $500+. Now all I have to do is transfer my 'old' 8mb cache WD 80gig to this new box, and plop in my 9500, sell some blood for RAM and I'll be all set. When I started liquidating my Mac hardware, I never thought I'd go back to being so gung-ho about PCs.

GREED IS GOOD.

what is the quickest way to cancel a Dell order ? my friend told me they have a live chat applet under Support, like Staples, but I never found it.

I tried two different sales people, both said I would have to cancel my existing order and reorder online to use the 10% off coupon. Neither offered me the 10% off. I bought a coupon for $3, and ordered another system. I'll be on the phone at 7am cancelling the first order.

Thanks for the info. Just got the coupon code. The things we have to do to save a buck. I guess the savings in tax money will be worth it.

I have a question Plz answer Thanks a lot.

If i have 2 pieces of 512mb ddr at 400mhz each can I put one piece on each channel or i have to put all on the sam channel?

Thanks

 

[barbiwire]

put one slot label "1" and then put the other in the slanted slot labeled "2"

 

[nagibbs]

If someone has a SB system 10% off coupon I would like to order this 400sc with the P4 3.2. I have gotten the coupons before in my email but not this time. I have given coupon codes away in the past and need one now, but If someone has one and wants to sell it for a few bucks I would be interested. Thanks

DOH! Thank you for catching this for me ... guess I am spoiled by full tower cases ... ok, guess I'll have to make a sacrifice ...

 

[Acanthus]

just ordered 2

 

[alisajid]

LOL... Just cancelled last night's order. Told Dell I got a better deal. Got a 10% coupon from Ebay, after rebate it'll be $375.

I didn't even try to mislead the salesperson on the phone, I just told her I had found a better deal.

 

[HostVisions]

I had my order confirmation about 10 minutes after placing the order. In it is the rebate number for the $100 back.

 

[nagibbs]

Anybody have a 10% SB coupon for Dell for $5. (I hate going to e*ay)? Thanks

r.gibbs@insightbb.com

 

[JSFord]

If I order 2 in one order can I get two $100 rebates?

About the rebate. Does anyone find it odd that Dell did not list the rebate in any of the normal places. It only shows up in the configuration details after you add it to your cart. I don't think I've seen them do this before.
