Another good one. It will fall out of your cart within 15 minutes of inactivity.

Sell the office software if you like, and upgrade the system a little.
 
This is just getting down right stupid. :disgust:

The scripters are picking up EVERYTHING (at least on the Inspiron Lappys).

As soon as they refresh the inventory it's ALL gone. :roll:

Glad I grabbed my Inspiron a couple of days ago before this got outta hand. Sheeesh.

One thing I do regret though, is they had the D400 Latittudes for $494 with a P1400m 30GB 256MB RAM & 24XCD. Stoopid me wanted a better price. lol 😉

Ah well. I'm just happy to get my one system. I'm not a reseller.
 
I would like to upgrade my memory to 1g. Can I use just any ddr2? Or does it have to be certain kind?

I looked about 15 minutes ago and there were no dimensions at all. This has to be a first. There are a few now.

These will work with Dell 4700's, 8400's, and XPS Gen3 and 4's.

Luckily I was able to pick up several Inspiron laptops during the week. The D400 prices went up several hundred dollars after it was posted on FW. Between the script kiddies who don't know how to use Proximitron and the F5'ers they are picking up what little drops every hour. :disgust: Oh well, didn't need to spend anymore money anyway.

 
The script kiddies don't bother me all that much, I find it rather funny to watch the entire inventory get sucked up after a dump because they don't filter their scripts worth a dang, but I am sure since this sale is going on until the 30th that Dell themselves will respond to the scripters approaching it just like they would a DDOS attack putting in a buffer or refresh timeout limit or an extra step to the ordering process. If the database crashes one or two more times like it did around 3 am last night, Dell will react to it. Dell could care less who they sell systems to, but when the database gets hammered, sucked up and redumped because people are using an automated script to do it they will react and then we will hear from all the scripters whine about how it is their "right" to use whatever means blah blah blah to aquire systems from Dell. I myself do hope they keep it up, it will add some humor to this thread LOL 🙂

Oh and to all the script kiddies save your time from flaming me here, I could care less how you do things so just filter your script right and only search for what you need 🙂.
 
HELP! I need to decide which one is hotter between the two:

Dell 8400 3.4ghz
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home
Memory: 1 GB DDR SDRAM, 400 MHz (2 DIMM)
Floppy Drive: No Floppy Drive
Hard Disk Drive: 80 GB EIDE SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
Video: 128MB PCI Express ATI Radeon X300 SE
Modem: 56Kbps Data/Fax Modem
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit ADVANCED HD Audio with 100dB Perform
DVD Drive: 16X DVD ROM Drive
16x DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability

How's that for $568?

OR

Dell 8400 3ghz
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home
Memory: 512 MB DDR SDRAM, 400 MHz (2 DIMM)
Floppy Drive: No Floppy Drive
Hard Disk Drive: 160 GB EIDE SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
Video: 128MB PCI Express ATI Radeon X300 SE
Modem: 56Kbps Data/Fax Modem
DVD Drive: 16x DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability

$450? Good?
 
if top one is the pentium 6xx series, i'd go with that one for personal use

not sure what the suggested price cutoff for reselling is for the 8400 line
 
given the dell outlet inventory seems empty a lot i wonder if actual sales are affected. if enough scripters were constantly grabbing all available items and adding them to the cart but rarely buying them, seems analogous to cpu thrashing.

I dunno, you can get 4700's with the same specs as the bottom 8400 for a lot cheaper, and I don't know if ebayers can discriminate. Top one is nice, dunno about reselling tho.
 
BTW, in case you guys didn't know, the "30% off $1250 or more coupon" works on the ORIGINAL price, not the discounted price. So for example if the original price is $1300, and the discounted price is $1100, the coupon will work, and it will be 30% off the $1100. Dell's coupon codes always work like this in Outlet.

To bad I don't need any more machines. 30% off this would work out to be a pretty cheap P4EE.
