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.
