wouldn't that crank up the price a bit?

Yeah, but it will be worth it, don't forget the 512 of crucial from newegg for $68.

BTW thanks for posting this deal last time, I got in on it and I love the system.

What the hey??? I'm trying to configure this right now and I get no where near that!! Did you go through small business? Home? Can you send me a direct link please? Thanks.
 
Hey guys if you pick the 18 inch ultrasharp LCD with the deal it come out to 382.50 plus tax.

I think that is well worth it also to add with the PC.
 
hey guys, i guess there is no free upgrade to 60GB from the deal last time.
30GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive is still good.

can i not use this hard drive and will my maxtor 80GB ATA/133 7200RPM work fine?
does this board support ATA 133?

SAVE $100! New 4x DVD+RW/+R Drive w/CD-RW [add $80 or $3/month1] SAVE $100!!
is this worth another 80 bucks? is 4x really slow?

EDIT: Does that mean u get two different drives, the 48x/24x/48x Max CD-RW Drive and 4x DVD+RW/+R Drive?
 
Thanks for the help guys but I'm being a goober. No one has this 15% off code that i've seen so far.

Nope I am tempted to order one with the DVDRW.
Do you guys think it is worth upgrading to the 9700 TX card?

Yes, I deffinatly think so. It is good for the money. Just the memory didn't run as fast as they wished it to, so they are selling them off real cheap. If you visit HardOCP.COM, you can find out how to overclock it and cool it better.
 
I'm being such a blockhead man, if anyone can help me out, PM me or IM me on MSN "CJALI911@hotmail.com". Thank you.

According to Dells tech sheet:
Up to 200 GB2 Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive


http://www.dell.com/us/en/dhs/products/model_dimen_3_dimen_4550.htm#tabtop, this will only support a ATA100 HD. However, any techie will tell you that the difference between ATA100 and 133 is usually not even noticable, because the HD controller rarely sends information near that speed, only in a few random quick bursts is anything over 100 sent. What will make a big difference, is the RPM of the HD and how well defragged it is.
 
Anyone know where i can get the rebate for this I ordered one last time and there wasn't a slip in wwith the box.
Thanks

4x is the fastest DVD-R/+R on the market currently. It will burn 4.36 GB in a little less than 15 minutes.

no, you do not get both drives... the DVD+R drive is capable of also being a CDRW drive, but with a max of 16x writing, compared to 48x of the CDRW only drive.

note: the speed ratings for DVD and CD are different. Here is an equivalent table.

DVD CD
1x --- 9x
2x --- 18x
4x --- 36x
5x --- 45x
6x --- 54x
8x --- 72x
 
Does anyone know if the 4x is the write speed of DVD or CD writing ? I doubt it would be for CD writing... but wanted to know from someone who knows more than me
