What should I do with my $50 Dell coupon/credit ?

[ClockerXP]

I got a $50 coupon/credit from Dell. I want to buy a DVD Burner or something but it seems they don't carry the NECs in stock anymore. Any suggestions for a nice buy at around $50-$100?

Who needs NEC when they have BenQ

thats the problem with an in house coupon. I got one from best buy but there stuff was so overpriced you couldn't get anything for 60.00.
finally bought a cd player that supported wma and mp3's and It quit working in a month...needless to say I quit shopping there. I only buy online now.:disgust:

Bump for any good suggestions for good stuff from Dell for $50-$100. I'd like a black DVDRW, of course.

Maybe I should try to sell my coupon on the For Sale forum?

I have a $75 credit that I need to burn before the end of this month. Too bad I dont' have the money to get another LCD.

Dell has the Plextor PX-716A listed at the best price I've seen (comes with both beige and black faceplates in the box) plus there is a $30. rebate thru the end of March. Let's see - $105.36 - $50 - $30. = $25.36 ! If you've not had a Plextor before, then you can't beat that as a starting point. I really like my 712A.
. Too bad Dell was OOS (says ships in 1 to 2 weeks) on it when I last checked. Even w/o your certificate it is still one of the best deals I've seen on that drive.

Could you use 256MB of DDR , a 512MB SD card , a Sandisk 512MB Cruzer USB drive (would be my choice), or a set of Logitech X-230 speakers ? If not, and you want to get the NEC 3520, you could sell the $50 credit for $40 or so and use the money towards the drive. You wouldn't get the full $50 out of it, but $40 - $45 off a DVD burner is still a good deal.

Please note conession coupons are like $50.00 off $50.01 so the pre-discount total must be over $50. Anyway I have a $50 coupon myself and I'm considering this...

Which meets your $50 total, and you get a $10MIR so you get a 512MB Flash drive for around -$7

You could always sell the coupon if you can't find something - sell it for 50% of the value

I'm in the same boat. I have a $100 coupon from Dell. I'm kicking around the idea of two or three possibilities. 1. The MX1000 or 2. Two WESTERN DIGITAL - 80 GB Caviar Special Edition WD800JD for 70.95 each and coming out of pocket $40 or so. 3. I'd like to get a new 19" CRT to replace my 3 yr. old 17 incher but I don't know much about what Dell has to offer in that area. If anyone knows a thing or two about monitors I'd appreciate some guidance.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Didn't know that retail Plextor comes with both faceplates! Where do you get that $30 rebate?

I'm good already for flash memory and system RAM...otherwise those would be great ideas too.

Thanks,
