I've missed the last couple of deals with an XP configuration, but I just put one together. I'm not super savvy, so if someone could give me feedback on whether this is an ok deal, I would appreciate it.
OptiPlex 330 Minitower Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E4600 (2.4GHz, 2M, 800MHz FSB) XP Professional, SP2, x32, with Media, English 2GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM,667MHz, (2 DIMM) Dell USB Keyboard, No Hot Keys, English, Black, with Palmrest Dell 19 inch E198WFP Widescreen Flat Panel, Analog 256MB ATI RADEON HD 2400 Pro (1 DVI/1 TV-out), full height 250GB SATA 3.0Gb/s and 8MB DataBurst Cache™ 48X CD-ROM and 16X DVD+/-RW,SATA,roxio Creator™CyberlinkPowerDVD™ 3 Year Basic Limited Warranty and 3 Year NBD On-Site Service 3 Year CompleteCare Accidental Damage Protection TOTAL:$887.00
other deal had a 24 inch monitor and was about 75 bucks less. This is a ok deal, just when you compare, it is hard to beat the last few Dell Quad deals.

This is a ok deal, just when you compare, it is hard to beat the last few Dell Quad deals.This is actually not that bad, costing only $50 more than the previous deal after DPA. The other one had a 24", but only 1GB of RAM, integrated video, no media card reader, vista home basic, and 250GB HD.

I think OP deal is better than yours and you will get more with less money. I think it's better you go with this deal. Just upgrade video card!
This price is a little higher than last EPP deal offer BUT it has "500GB Hard Drive, 3GB Memory, Video card (Not good for gaming), and 19 in 1 Media Card Reader" so not that much higher if you compare.

Nice deal again OP! Green!
Hmmm... If I upgrade the video card and the warranty (needed in a house with six kids), it's $1048 - 10% = $944 Is it enough better than the one I posted to justify the extra?
Very nice deal. The 24" deal was based on factors such as SELLING the monitor away & adding your own aftermarket RAM or Hard drive or video card. In addition, the onboard Vista OS was not Premium as mentioned above.
If I were a person who had time then yes. But if I need a ready out of the box machine to do many things, this one is preloaded & ready to go out of the box.
I had priced the prior quad core 530 with a 22" & it came out to ~$800 with t+s.
So this one will save me about$60-70. Thanks OP!!!

I saw this Dell 248WFP monitor in Staples yesterday. I am glad I did not jump on it. The viewing angle is BAD. Guess it is why HDTV is more expensive since using different type of panel. You only want it for reselling. I would stick to my old Viewsonic tube.
If you want to compare this deal with the last deal. This is what I was able to get with the 22" monitor:

That's not an equal comparison. This deal comes with either ATI or Nvidia card - entry level - and a 500GB hard drive. However, considering that you can get yourself a low end video card by either ATI or Nvidia and a 500GB hard drive for about $150 with recent deals that comes to mind, this deal isn't as good as the one mentioned. If you've missed the previous deal though, it's looking a lot better than the alternative.
You guys are silly, some of the 24 inch 530 Q6600 deals were really good but this one isn't a great deal at all IMO. All the extra stuff is dirt cheap to buy in the aftermarket or isn't needed.

Get a quad6600 from the outlet. I got one for $289, another for $329. Not a deal every day, but some sweet deals do come up.
