I had 2 separate 400's in my cart figuring I could order when I found out about the AGP. I just went to order one of them and my cart is empty. Originally it said this cart is good until 8/20.
I never knew that they go into your cart and empty it when they no longer feel like selling it to you. Guess I'll wait for fall price drops and build my own.

Their system is pretty good, they can cancel your configuration right up until it's paid for. I once had once disappear towards the end. Crappy experience, but I guess they realized it was costing them mucho cash to build and ship these things.
Their cost for the chip alone has got to be >$600 in quanitity..

Is this deal still alive? No 3.2 but the 2.8C is still there for $100.
I don't think I could build a 2.8C i875 computer with 1 Gig CSA networking for $474
Or can I?
Nevermind: I do an update price and the total is 474 for the 2.8C system.
Do an "add to cart" and it jumps to 574.
Don't know if it is dell or mozilla.
Edit2: ok now it's working. go figure. 2.8C for $474. looks good to me but think I'll wait for something that's not as shakey as this server/workstation deal. Good luck to all that jumped on it.....

What's "shakey" about it? The hard part's been qualified, it's an intel 875 w/agp, sata and whatnot. This is a state of the art quality box disguised as a server.
Still a good deal with the 2.8 in it, just not quite as hot.
Order confirmations will come, they're probably a little behind on things...

Good news. I got the order confirmation. Here is what the order status page shows (with part of the order number blocked out). Hopefully the delivery estimate is a very conservative figure.

I'm not sure right now and don't have access to my downloaded email. It must have been Friday night or Saturday.
Got my confirmation. Usually confirmations are html'ized and pretty, these look like they were cranked out by hand. I have a ship date of 8/1, but it has yet to enter production. They might have payment issues because I have a daily charge limit on trhe card I gave them. Did yours go into production?
None the less, w00t, we're in!

Mine has not actually gone into production yet either. Perhpas they don't sell a lot of servers (compared to desktops) so maybe this putting a little bit of stress on their production schedule.
This appears to be the motherboard in the 400sc. :beer:
There are a number of posts in the dell forums from exisitng 400sc owners who indicate it's identical to this one...

GREAT find..thanx SOX!
Hey guys Googlegear sell this board for $219..and (This is a special order item)
Check it here
Shakey in that features we want: Cheap non ECC ram, SATA, and AGP are not supported by dell.
Skakey in that Dell won't support XP pro on this server, so if you have any driver problems you are on your own.
Shakey in that Document pointed at for entry server 875 board says ECC ram only so my plain old DDR ram I have may be useless with this board. $200 for RAM cools the deal.
So buy this server, flush out your super PC with a radeon 9800, a SATA Raptor 10,000RPM, fast non-ecc ram, install XP Pro, get lockups every 10 seconds, call dell support, describe your configuration:
Response: Click dialtone.....
Great value for the $$$$ IF everything works for you. If not you are on your own.
"of course the game is rigged but if you don't play you can't win" RAH.
Dell's online docs clearly shows 6 USB ports in the back w/ one net connection. There's no mention of both 100/1000 NICs. This server board has both. There are multiple versions of the board. The only difference I can find is that one has Serial ATA, the other doesn't. Either the docs are crap, or it's not this Intel board.Originally posted by: iwearnosox

I didn't have the guts to jump on this deal before the AGP port was confirmed, and I wasn't fast enough afterwards. I hope Dell will reward me with a good deal on a Dimension 8300 and the 1901 LCD soon
That link for the motherboard is not the correct one, the board is confirmed as having five PCI slots, the link show the board as having three because it is a MATX board and not the ATX board that is being sold with the system.

I'm hoping for the same thing as well. Their quarter is ending on July 31st so hopefully they will come out with some nice offers in order to boost their revenues.
I went ahead and ordered the vanilla 400SC (P4 2.26GHz, 128MB, 40GB, $349) to do some testing at work. Placed the order at 10:00PM EST last night, and the computer shipped 16 hours later :Q
