Yeah, thanks for the info pxc. I had no idea Dell started doing this.
Welcome to over 3 years ago. 😉

What's sad is i still have an 8100 i use as an htpc. Never even considered tinkering with it, well nothing more than adding cards or memory.
 
I had an XPS in my cart a few days ago:

3.46EE
1GB 533DDR2
X850XTPE
Dual 74 GB Raptors
wada,wada


for about $1500.

I couldn't see spending that much on a Dell.
 
i found 2 xps gen 4 with 650 for 1115 and 1194 with x850 xt pe

bamacre: that one was pretty hot. i picked it up in my cart thinking if i should pull the trigger. no tax in NY 😀


edit: i dumped it. ppl go pick it up its a great deal

i went ahead with another 8400 for 400 bucks to swap the 3.4 6xx in the xps with the 3.2 and sell the 3.2 off in the XPS 😀

8400's are now on sale, along with others. Updated OP.

Now we just need coupon codes 🙂

Edit: PLEASE, someone buy THIS THING.

How much is that vid card worth? Other than that... what's so special about the computer? Seems kind of expensive compared to the 8400s people were getting earlier for 400-500 dollars. Only thing I see different than what they were getting is the sound/vid card.

Good deal grab it. I got half the ram and Xp home for $465 after taxes.
 
Just ordered it, now I have 3 computers I need to sell. Bleh. Ebay, here I come! If I manage to sell the 4700 for around $500 and the 8400s for $700, I'll make about $700 - not too shabby for virtually no work at all 🙂
 
What time are the drops? I don't see any drops at all.

Every time I look, the cheapest 8400 is $649 (after discount) with occasional $500+ systems (just a couple) popping up. The $500+ systems must be somebody's discards or cart timeouts.

I think they were around 37 or 38 this time around
 
This is currently in my cart. Should I throw it back to the fishes or pick it up (will be going to fleabay).

no expert, but I think you could do better. xp pro & audigy2 is nice tho.

 
I missed it - but I saw a $365 about 3:30 - don't know if someone dropped it or if it was released, but I am not seeing any great deals this hour....
 
I wish i had the $, but i'm dropping this back in. Good luck getting it:SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

It looks like the unimpressive drop was around :48 this time. I think the exciting times of sub $400 laptops and sub $200 desktops is temporarily over.
 
Pretty nice system sideshow. I wished it had a GiG of RAM. I was trying to grab the 256MB graphics systems, but I guess I was too slow.

Aren't you tempted to put it on a credit card, or resell it or sell what you have now? 😉
