Dimension 9100 Config and Question ...

[rajs]

What do you think about this config for a Dimension 9100 -- for $ 1054 delivered.

Also picked up the Dell 2405FP LCD for another $ 733 delivered after buying and then trying to cancel ... from ~ 8xx so they gave me 100 bucks back to keep it.

Another question -- do you think this machine can support an eVGA 7800 overclocked edition Video Card ? if so I would rip out the 6800 and sell it.

Thanks!

Before buying ANYTHING, go here and check for discounts, specials and coupons for Dell: http://gotapex.com/

This site lists insider specials and coupons you don't get from casually visiting the Dell website.

Dell's sales always expire midnight Wednesday so unless you're in a panic I'd wait until tomorrow and check the GOTAPEX site and see what the Dell specials are for next week.

Dell runs a LOT of insider specials on high-end systems like you're interested in. Last week they had an awesome $750 off any laptop priced over $1499 and people were walking away with high-end laptops for under $800 shipped. I got a couple of my clients connected with those deals.
