Before someone starts whining, don't forget that Dell Small Business charges tax in most states (except Oregon which has zero sales tax
).
This is really weird, if you start out with the 2.40 w/ 533 bus, select XP Home and integrated audio the starting price is
$1,068 but if you choose premium audio (SB Live) instead the price is lower at
$938.
Here's the configuration I would buy if I didn't already have a 4550 with 15" LCD on the way:

The machine is generously loaded as is, it's only major shortfall is no monitor and add more RAM.
I wonder if you can combine the 10% off coupon with the
Amex 5% discount?
bit should probably know the answer to this.
