So how many of you have new DELLs thanks to the Hot Deals from the past few weeks?

I am writing this post on my new Dimension 4550 (I'm not sure whether to thank the hot deal posters or curse them for tempting me into buying this!) Oh well, 2.4 GHz @ 533Mhz bus and a 15" LCD - it really does look SWEEEET. I just didn't expect to replace my hand-build Athlon 1Ghz machine so quickly (just assembled it about 22 months ago!) But, as they say, strike while the iron is hot!

When the next deal comes around I'll be getting either one or two for my parents.

I don't, but my parents do. My Duron is still serviceable, so I didn't spend $600, although I was tempted. :)

I must say the 4500 is whisper-quiet.

HappyPuppy: I agree and I usually would much prefer building the machine myself.


.............BUT............................

minendo is right on the money - this was just TOO good a deal for my to pass up.

I was one of the lucky ones with a coveted 10% stackable coupon - made the deal $589.00 shipped to my door.

I am selling the old machine for $400 - so my net upgrade cost is $189 to more than double my bus and processor, jump to a 40x CDRW from a 4X, upgrade to XP, AND upgrade to a 15" LCD.

I thought it over for about 5 seconds - then hit "BUY"!
