    New Dell Home Coupons - 9/22 through 9/29

    For what that's worth. I just tried a number of configurations and nothing comes close to last weeks 35% off. Coldest set I've ever seen. With the 700m anyways, they now force you - at minimum - to buy 512MB of RAM in 2 DIMMS, effectivly closing the "loop hole" of buying 256 for cheap and...

    New Dell Home Coupons - 9/22 through 9/29
