That is some crazy deal.... but reading that thread, most of those people use scripts. =(

People are running scripts.

How are their scripts written? Any guidance on how to create one of those myself?

You gonna let the other ones go? Or did you do that already. It's literally impossible for me to keep up with all the script kiddies...

I only added the $240 one to the cart. I log the good deals even if I don't grab it. My log file is almost 1MB, so I can guarantee that i'm not adding all.

Time to send back the "warm deal" 4700 (XP Pro/2.8GHz/CD-RW for $270 + tax) I picked up last week.

Aztech · Mar 30, 2005

Boooooooo! Get out of here and stop rubbing it in, scripter! Many of us are still trying to grab deals like the ones you're throwing back! :|

1) I'm not a scripter, i'm a programmer. Scripts are too slow.
2) I'm not throwing back anything (unless you meant that 4700 that i'm shipping back). I wanted a particular config and I grabbed it. I am logging deals though. That's a benefit of writing something... features can be added at will.
3) Rubbing it in? I think of it as informing. If someone hadn't mentioned that $170 8400 I wouldn't have bothered looking again this morning.

Anyways, i'm done with the outlet. 2 weeks ago I just wanted to pick up 2 desktops for around $700 and I wound up buying 4. I sent 1 back so far and am going to send another back today. With the $130 I saved I could have upgraded to a BrightView LCD on the R3000Z I bought at OD.

Too many script kiddies out there - everything even remotely decent disappears literally the same second it's posted.

I have a similar config and price in my cart. However, the graphics card in mine says 256MB Nvidia 6800. It does not say GTO. Did someone say they're all GTOs. I don't wanna read back through the thread...

No, there are both 6800 vanillas and 6800 GTO's. If it does not specify GTO, it's a vanilla.

Is that a drop at :33 after the hour? So, drop times do vary widely.

A question to those with a lot of experience in Dell refurbs:
Do ALL refurbs come with FREE 6 month of AOL or NetZero or Earthlink? According to the CSR I spoke to, yes. My Dell refurb came with 6 month of AOL. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah, but that's not new. It was the same way over 2 years ago.
