Wow, even I am impressed. I might actually get one instead off building my own pc......, I dont see any Radeon 9800 pros though.

Randomly. Sometimes they add 3 or 4, sometimes, 200. You have to be kind of fast, depending on the system. I've missed out on some very good deals.

Unfortunately, I'm holding off buying any more right now. I just found out I am having a problem in regards to my last batch of Dell refurb's that sold on ebay. UPS sent a $1400 Dell 8400 to someone who bought a $460 Dell 8300, and vice versa. Of course I got contacted by the guy who got sent the cheaper instead of the $1400, but I have yet to hear from the guy who got the $1400 system instead of the $460 one. Damn UPS. They were sent insured, so I have no idea how this is going to pan out.
 
Nice deals. We bought a Dell desktop refurb once, came packaged just like it was new.

Most likely it was a return.
 
The coupons are pretty much the same as when I bought my refurb 8400 last month. 😀 Mine came out to $409 after discounts/coupon with free shipping:

Dimension 8400 (925x chipset)
P4 3.0GHz
512MB DDR2-400MHz dual channel
128MB x300SE
modem
160GB SATA seagate 7200rpm 8mb cache
floppy
52x CD-RW
WinXP

I did a memory upgrade to 1GB of Samsung DDR2-533MHz dual channel and a 6600GT for $170 extra after selling the original x300SE and 512MB.

Lots of good deals are available in the outlet.

Yeah, I've heard that as many as 90% of Outlet systems are returns.

I realize this is dead. But I offer a caveat regarding dell outlet.

I ordered a system with a 9800 Pro and then I receive an invoice with an "M9" video card. I called dell up immediately and canceled the order. Well, it still showed up at my door; so, I refused. I called dell back up and got a huge run around. I wasted hours on hold, and responses to my e-mails have either been ignored or they say that the system was delivered to me (w/o providing proof of signature) or they say "we have no record of cancellation."

6 weeks later. My credit card still charged (in dispute though). And absolutely no resolution or competent response from dell.

Don't trust the outlet listings especially for exotic components.

 
Thanks for the info.

Well, I have sold quite a few on Ebay and so far I have had zero complaints in regards to the hardware listed and actually delivered. I can agree about Dell's service though, horrible at times.

How's the ATI PCI Express X300 vid card?

I've heard it is very comparable to a Radeon 9600 Pro or XT.

NO!

The x300 SE is a PCI-E version of the 9600SE. It runs at 325MHz core and about 400MHz memory speed (64-bit interface). Like the 9600SE, it also only has 4 pipelines. Performance is far inferior to the 9600 Pro.

edit: the regular x300 is like a 9600 non-pro.
