Before someone starts whining, don't forget that Dell Small Business charges tax in most states (except Oregon which has zero sales tax :p ).

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:

$758 price as configured above
-10% off coupon
-2% eBates
-$100 MIR
=========================
$568.56

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.

From what I remember, the 5% Amex is not stackable. Dell stopped just before the LCD 4550 deal.

That sucks, was able to help a friend use the Amex 5% off plus 10% off coupon a month ago. Of course now I'll bet he wishes he had waited until the 4500 w/ LCD came out :D

choosing premium audio makes it auto choose MS works, if you put basic audio, it auto chooses ms office xp SBE if you leave it at defaults, once you change it to ms works with basic audio, its $30 less than the premium

Dell Small Business charges tax by shipping address or billing address??

missed the sale
Dell was giving 2.4ghz puters away for less than 500 bucks,
they saw what was going on and dumped all orders in process and saved shopping carts, they ended the sale early,
i spent about 20 bucks on coupons, total loss,,,
entered the orders, then the next day,
Dell dumped all orders that were using any coupons,
they just hit delete, sob,,
missed the sale => 2.4ghz puters for less than 500 bucks!!!!!

with the rebate of 100.
are you guys sure this rebate is any good!!!
i am already hearing stories that that rebates are being denied for those puters offered earlier this october,
possible reason = these Dell deals are for bizzness customers, not retail, plus they can deny a rebate for whatever fake reason they want, what can ya do, picket dell, sit on hold for hours while Dell waits for you to hang up ???

Actually it was stackable on the initial Free LCD deal. I got it to work along with the 10% coupon.
