Good god. I paid more than that JUST for the monitor a little under 3 years ago.

Hot....very hot.

 

[Cheesetogo]

Wow, the processor and monitor alone cost nearly that much!

 

[scootermaster]

How much to upgrade to a 2407? Is that even possible? I'd be all over this for just the monitor if I could get the better 24". Anyone wanna go halvsies with me? Preferably in the LA area?

Is that Los Angeles or Louisiana? If it's Los Angeles, PM me... I'd like the computer if you want the monitor.

 

[cyber2007]

i also want to buy just the monitor.. wish they would offer some deals on just the LCD's

 

[Synomenon]

Thanks for the deal TechBoy. I just ordered one of these systems. I'll be keeping the monitor and reselling everything else along with a Dell 1704FPT 17" LCD monitor + a 15" BenQ LCD monitor.

My total after shipping and taxes was: $637.74

Here's my configuration:

- Inspiron 530 Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.40Ghz 1066FSB) w/Quad Core Technology and 8MB cache
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Microsoft Works 9.0
- 1GB DDR2 667
- Dell USB Keyboard + Dell Optical USB Mouse
- SP2208WFP 22" LCD monitor
- 128MB NVIDIA 8300GS (DVI port & VGA port)
- 250GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive
- Dell 19-in-1 Media Card Reader
- Integrated NIC
- Integrated Audio
- 16X DVD+/-RW Drive

Anyone know if the monitor is in a separate box or is everything packaged in one box? I'm in Vegas if anyone wants the computer (not for free of course).

 

[Soundmanred]

The monitor will ship in its own box.

 

[Synomenon]

Good. That way, I can put *NEW* in the title if I have to eBay the computer.

[FuzzyWuzzyDan]

Dang you Hot Deals forum, i finally thought i had no need to buy computer stuff, then you have to go post up a deal like this. Right when i was thinking my new laptop would be good enough for me.

Thanks OP,and posters from other sites.

Now i just need to find a good deal on 4gb ram, and an 8... series nvidia card... humm wonder where i could find a deal on those.

 

[Freewolf]

Nice deal. I would like the computer but have no need for the monitor.

 

[Zap]

Damn this is tempting, and I still have a Vostro 200 in my garage unused.

Same here. I have 4 company emails and none of them qualified...

 

[jalaram]

Anyone near NH want to split the deal?

 

[uhohs]

try a free msn.com email or a writeme.com one from mail.com

 

[finkle]

quick ??, If you don't order it w/ a video card, will the MoBo they send you have the PCI-e slot???

 

[scootermaster]

So can anyone do a quick check and see what the price becomes if you substitute a 2407?

when I messed w/ it, it only offered the lesser 24" ...

You can get the 22" 2208fpw UltraSharp for $160 or so...

They aren't in the business of chopping parts so much anymore. If it has the option for a video card the mobo should still have the PCI-E slot when shipped. I know the Vostros I got all had them and we got integrated graphics.
