jaja said:How can I get a EPP coupon that will work with this deal? I got an EPP coupon using my email address at work. But the coupon needs at least 799$ to get 12% off. Thanks.

Deal died middle of last wk.

So how does one "undo" the chip mod if you use the defogger method?

I got a call from the CS, that my order got canceled. Something about the coupon maybe from some company that is no longer being honor

I need to call them to sort it out.

You got 4% additional discount at check out. I just ordered 2 computers and the discount jump up to 8%. It becomes 12% if I order 4.

No IDE connections
No PS2. mouse and keyboard are USB.
so my KVM will not work with this model since KVM is all ps2, no usb
bought so many different usb/ps2 converters but non work properly
oh yes, they connect but thats all
something about they being passive so dont know if i can make this work
any info? help?

You could always order one of these that worked on a laptop I got with a similar "problem"

Perfecto!!! My trusted KVM is still in now

Good news for everybody who ordered this and tried to stack the AAA coupon. I called Dell using the EPP phone number listed earlier and insisted that the AAA coupon and the EPP coupon should be stackable. I really didn't expect them to go for it but I kept insisting that they should be stackable. So after one phone call where they put me back and forth on hold for about 20 minutes they said that they would get back to me. The CSR from India then proceeded to call me every day for the last week and each time he would tell me that I can not stack the coupons and each time I would reply that the coupons should be stackable. Well, I received the new system yesterday and this afternoon I got yet another call from the same CSR. He said after following through that they were going to credit my account the 6 % for the AAA coupon. That means my deal ended up costing me $829 (I took the card reader for the extra $20) - $310 instant discount - $51.90 EPP discount - $28.03 AAA discount - $18.68 DPA 4% discount - $17.94 ( Dell Members save 4% for 3/4 year in home service discount) = $402.45 + free shipping.

Now that's a smokin hot deal for a Quad core machine.

I urge all you other Fat Wallet members who tried to stack the AAA coupon to make the call and insist that the coupon is stackable. What have you got to loose?

takyc said:There are KVM switch with USB ports. I have used them before. But then, now I'm using all Remote Desktop Connection. Much better than switching between KVM.

If you still have IDE harddrives, you should probably get rid of them. For DVD burner, SATA burners are about $30.
Takyc, guess u did not understand my problem.
My KVMs are all ps2, I don't want to go out and spend any more monies on KVMs, 3 is enough
besides the compaq KVM is over $300 bucks. Don't want to spend more monies on them
I have 3 KVMs don't want to buy anymore

one 2 port
one 4 port
one 8 port...expensive

oh did u get the picture?
I DON'T WANT TO BUY ANY MORE KVMs?
I want make the ps2 KVMs work with the Dell 530 ie usb connections
there are converters out there that work..but which ones?

I want a Dell puter with ps2 keyboard and ps2 mouse
because I can install dells win xp pro or win vista using the
normal Dell re installation cd. ie OEM OS

I already bought one Dell 530 one is enough
i bought a Gateway with ps2 connectors
i can live without IDEs
but why get rid of them? not too smart.
i just put them in usb external boxes and BOOM, they work in the 530.
have plenty of external boxes

" I just called.. they won't honor the 6% AAA code"

They will tell you that they won't honor it but just keep insisting that they do. Tell them that it's stackable and stackable means that you should be able to use them together. Every time they called me they would say that they will not honor both but I would say sternly but in a nice way "the coupons are stackable and should be allowed to be used together." They kept saying that they would look into it further and finally called me back to tell me they we going to apply the credit to my account.
