Intel 900 series, DX9 core with hardware pixel shaders and software vertex shaders. AKA Intel Extreme Graphics 3. It's pretty nice as far as integrated graphics go, only beaten by the ATI 9100IGP.

Was it 590 for both or that much each?

 

[RaiderJ]

Picked up three 4700 with 512MB-1GB RAM, CD-RW and/or DVD drives, 2.8Ghz, 80-160GB hard drives for $1,100 shipped.

Hoping to make ~$100 off of each one on ebay... and if nothing else I'll get airline miles for them!

 

[dpjax]

Total bill for both. Hoping to score $200 each in profit.

BTW, the trick I do is 'search again' like 100000 times, be ready to add it to cart.

Review anything around or under $300 AFTER its in your cart. And remember only systems over $349 are free shipping, if you pay shipping it could easily be a deal buster.

 

[bgc99]

What do people do on these deals, just wait and add a bunch to their cart they don't really intend to purchase?

Also wondering why anyone would buy these off ebay instead of just buying from Dell?

I suppose the General Public? does not do things like follow the Hot Deals forum on AT, or sit at their computer and refresh the browser for 5 minutes like a bad crack habit every time it's 40 minutes after the hour. 😀

They probably just don't know about the Dell outlet is all...

 

[dpjax]

Look on ebay for what people pay for this stuff. I think its more about the 'thrill of the bidding' than the good deal.

:thumbsup:

Not to mention, this deal won't last much longer.

Thats hard to believe... so what was the cost each before and after the sale price?

 

[BentValve]

My 8400 and 4700 refurb shipped. 😀

 

[rugby]

my first 2 orders shipped as well. It's a race to eBay!

 

[mzkhadir]

why is the 4700 so cheap

 

[ir0nw0lf]

Rumor has it the reason Dell is staggering the dump times now is because there are a pile of script-runners out there who are using all sorts of customized scripts to filter out things like items <$250, etc. and the scripts can even auto-add the item to their cart. Much faster than a normal human could do it. Little unfair, but that's life I guess.
