Still some good deals. I got an 8400 w/Nvidia 6800GTO in my cart for like $530. Too bad I didn't need it. I saw this starting up again last night. I hope hoping no one was going to post it here

OP=Original Poster or Original Pimpdaddy as I'm known.

OP as a person - original poster
OP as an item - original post

Why, on the RAM selection pull down menu, is there an option for 1000 and 1024, and also 2000 and 2048? How do you have 1000 MB of RAM? I'm pretty sure it only comes in powers of 2...

and as for the RAM, 1000 = 1024, 2000 = 2048.

dell refers new system memory as 512, 1000, 2000, 4000
older system memory as 512, 1024, 2048, 4096

1000 = 2x512 usually. 2000 = 2x1GB. but click on the pc id code and see the specs just to confirm

At FW a few people have grabbed some semi-decent deals, but even the best was only average compared to when this thread was alive.

Wait another few weeks and the deals will probably be back.

 

[Morpheux]

Crap, wish I would have seen this yesterday when I ordered a 600m for my sister's graduation gift.....

 

[EKKC]

I'm starting to appreciate executables alot more right about now...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit goes to the link that was posted in this thread earlier...I have these filters with IE. just copy the vales after : in the appropiate text boxes only, leave others blank. Do not change Byte limit


Filter Name : Filter1
Matching Expression : <font * </s></font>

Filter Name : Filter2
Bounds Match : <(input)*>
Matching Expression : \1type="checkbox"\2
Replacement Text : \1type="checkbox" CHECKED\2

Filter Name : Filter3
Matching Expression : (<font color='DarkRed'>) $([#100:400])\2 $SET(ACTION=YES)
Replacement Text : \1 <b>$\2</b>

Filter Name : Filter4
Matching Expression : <input \1 onClick=(\w)\2 \3 > $TST(ACTION=YES)
Replacement Text : <input \1 onLoad=\2 alert('Target price found check cart!!'); \3>

Filter Name : Filter5
Matching Expression : <meta content="Dell US" name="author">
Replacement Text : <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15">


Keep them in sequence and then in IE set Tools--->connections-->LAN settings--> check the box that says Use a proxy server..... and in Address put 127.0.0.1 and port 8080

So I am trying to get these to work. Everything comes appears to function correctly, but then when I check my cart, it is empty Any suggestions?

 

[EKKC]

its not really worth the trouble any more

 

[Joman]

That may be true, but I would still like to know what the problem is...

 

[dbleoslow]

Is it that time of year again?

Close, but not sure if they are going to have the low priced deals like they had in the past. Depends on how big their inventory is and how good/bad they are doing this quarter. I received a 10% coupon earlier this week but did not see any great deals.

I'm not hearing any chatter from the ebayers over at FW yet so no really hot deals have hit yet.

The deals have been pretty lame lately. I've been helping my sister hunt for desktops for school donations and i haven't seen anything under $174 before shipping. Rarely $199 and $194 P4 2.8GHz systems pop up\. In a week we only managed to get one sub-$200 P4 2.4GHz 4600C, which is actually a pretty nice system vs the other AGP-less low cost 2400/3000 systems. Shipping is killing the deals now.

I bought an Inspiron 6000/CD/DVD combo/P-M 1.6GHz laptop today for $500 (+$14 shipping), but even that is only warm compared to deals from the good times.

The deals are few and far between, but good deals like this pop up sometimes: http://outlet.us.dell.com/Dispatcher?target=SpecPage&serviceTag=FX9KVZWL

That's school donation #2, a Dimension 3000 with a P4 2.8GHz for $164 + $29 shipping.

Question, if anybody sees this...what is the Dell outlet? Is it possible to apply coupons here at all? I'm finding some laptops that really interest me.

Dell Outlet is where Dell sells their refurbished/returned inventory that they can no longer sell as "New" on their normal website.

There are two versions of Dell Outlet listed; Outlet Home, and Outlet Small Business. They both have the exact same inventory; the obvious differences being that you need a Small Business login to purchase from Outlet Small Business, and you cannot pay with your Dell Preferred Account at Outlet Small Business (only Home).

Most Dell Outlet orders I have received look brand new to my discerning eye; almost 100% look new enough for the average consumer.

Dell Outlet only carries unique systems. Each system is identified by a code, and when you add a system to your cart nobody else can add it to their cart. However, Dell automatically removes the system from your cart after 15 minutes without activity.

 

[jpeyton]

Outlet is alive and kicking today, and there is a 10% off one time use coupon that was sent to e-mail addresses last night.

Got a 1.86GHz Inspiron 6000D w/ DVDRW and 9 Cell battery for ~$550.
