Now $27 cheaper, today only: Dell Dimension 4500 tower P4 2.4 for $421 AR shipped free (tax applicable.)

Rebate's too large. Hate to have to wait for $150 that might not ever come.

FWIW.. I did a couple of Dell $100 rebates. They were very fast and I got them both.

I was in the process of building an all black system & already ordered a Black Evercase,40X Liteon burner,extra ram,etc but always wanted the Dell Dimension.Hard to beat these Dell prices when you figure in the cost of Win Xp.

Thanks for the link,Toro

 

[YerrinSample]

Yeah, about a month ago I was going to build my own system, but since the total cost came out to about the price of a 4500 and Dell gives you a one year warranty, I decided just to go with the Dell. I'm VERY happy with the system! Much faster than my 600mhz that gave me the blue screen of death every few days!

My brother wants to get a system now. Does anyone have any coupons they aren't going to use? I used to get catalogs from Dell with $300-off coupons, but I haven't seen those in a while. If you are willing to part with one you aren't going to use, it would be much appreciated! Email = dizyblond@attbi.com

My bro is a student and is trying to save money any way he can! Thanks in advance!

Toro 45, I think GeForce4 MX is a mistake. It's a crappy vcard. They are selling GeForce Ti4200 128 MB for around 140-150 nowadays. You may consider...

 

[chinnboy]

I bought a 1.8 mhz 4500 a few weeks back when they were $395 after rebate etc. I was highly impressed with it, particularly with how quiet it is. I've built and am building my own PCs, but wouldn't think about starting another when you can get these boxes for the $400 vicinity. What distinguishes Dells to me is that they are largely non-proprietary, unlike Compaqs and HPs. I've wasted 2 days trying to revive my kid's virus (?) destroyed HP celery 700. Have gone thru a new DOA motherboard, and a lot of cussing. I wish I'd have just got another 4500 , he would have a better box and I would have 2 days to ......whatever.

Damn where were you when I was ordering


I don't think it's a crappy video card but it won't be my primary video I'll probably just swap it out with my Radeon 8500 or my sons Radeon 7500 & move it to one of my other boxes.The crappy card is the one they default you with (ATI Rage) I like the option to upgrade to the G4 MX with TV out for $20.00 more

Either way you look at it you got a hot deal on a decent, fast and QUIET system. Congrats!

 

[ezland00]

Wow, no one jump on this deal. I guss everyone is just poor like me.

 

[Delbert]

I got 3 a couple weeks ago for friends and family.
Just ordered one for a neighbor on the current deal.
She thanks you.

 

[HoosierDadE]

Good deal. Just ordered one.

 

[Toro 45]

Mine should be here by tomorrow

 

[darkstaff]

I can not seem to get the coupon code to work.
Has anyone else been able to since the 10th?

Choose Small Business > Desktop > Dimension > 4500 > Customize (remove everything thats allow to "SUBRACT $")

Good deal - also - an 8200 2.4GHz with 256MB RDRAM can be had at 618+tx (or about 750 with CDRw, GF4 4200, and 4 port PCI 2.0). And Ithink I just got another coupon for 10% off if it's over $1200 probably not stackable though...

[SpongeBobPalmBay]

These cheap 4500 DELL systems kick major ass... super quiet - decent components - and best of all - power up and it's ready to go!

And don't forget --- when you break down the price of everything that is needed to build one of these don't forget TAX, HIGH SHIPPING RATES, waiting for weeks to arrive, building/troubleshooting, OEM warranties... etc...

These are pretty sweet.

And honestly, Dell is not going to rip anyone off when it comes to rebates - they have way too much to lose.

I just submitted the order:
2.4G, 256MB DDR RAM, 40GB HD, gForce Ti4200 64MB.

Total comes $829.08 (Including CA Tax), or $679.08 AR.
(No shipping cost, 10% off coupon code is working)

Not a flaming hot deal, but hot enough. Easy and painless - I received my last Dell $100 rebate within 4 weeks.
Yes, I may save a few bucks if I assemble a PC myself, and overclock it. Yet too much trouble, and not worth the time nowadays. 1-year warranty from Dell maybe useless, but it's better than 30-day or none at all.

I will report back when I receive the PC, and test games like GTA III, Mafia, Morrowinf, NWN etc.

Thanks again, iwearnosox!

I don't think there will be a rebate if you choose 256MB DDR

 

[iwearnosox]

He chose the rebate option with more memory, you can tell by the price.

Glad you got in!

 

[JiggaJ]

I can't get this system under $778.00 before rebates. I followed the link posted in earlier in the forum. Can anyone help? Anyone else have the same problem?

 

[iwearnosox]

I just tried it, works fine for me. Follow that link and remove all things that can lower the price, except for cpu speed. Total comes to $679 before coupons.

 

[koala2002]

Placed my order w/ following configuration:
Dimension 4500 desktop P4-2.4Ghz w/faster 533Mhz bus
128MB DDR
40GB
48x CD,
XP Home MS Works,
Ethernet card
Nvadia 64DDR MX
paid: $692 after tax - $150 RIM = $542 ... + free shipping

 

[tazmania99]

For a strong, and fast system like this Dell Dimension 4500 2.4 mhz, it only comes with 250W PSU? I doubt the PSU is powerful enough for such a system.

Anyway, I just got one for an intimate friend. She gotta be happy about this present!

 

[iwearnosox]

Well Dell just called- the 4500 order I placed on 9/5 is now delayed until 9/18? Anyone else receive such an order delay?

Can this be leveraged into a discount by calling to cancel?

No, you want to wait until you receive the system then call them stating you want to return your system ... you'll get transferred to their retention department which might offer you a partial refund of anywhere from $75 to $200 to keep it.

Ha! Good luck pulling that one off! Dell is already loosing money on these 4500s purchased with coupons MIRs. Last time we tried to get "compensation" for delayed order with mulitiple 4500 machines that we received three weeks late both the rep that placed our and retention dept. supervisor said we could either accept the systems or a local courier would pickup them up. I asked for a "discount and they said no way so I said pick them up! Unless your system purchase is over $1K and involved a monitor purchase, basically you can forget about "compensation". Actually in our area at least Dell no longer arranges for pickup of "returned" unitss. They sell them to local surplus dealers who are actually the people who pick them up. In our case that was an outfit in TN who actually contacted us and picked up the units. I spoke with the courier who picked up the units at our location and all he does is pickup Dell returns for their Computer Outlet Superstore in a five state region in the southeast. Actually it makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

I already did

Although I had a pretty compelling story which may have swayed them into offering me $200 to keep my 4500 but I gladly accepted their gracious offer.
