Gigabit ethernet on this computer would be nice but not really needed. Most home routers don't even support GigE

Nope, just doesn't have it. No idea why

I can not get the EPP coupon to work. It says that my email address is invalid. I am guessing that you need a Dell.com email address? How is anybody supposed to get the 10% coupon?

Good as this deal with the 22" monitor?

Wondering about the same thing as well. Or should I wait for the next deal? Thx in advance for your comment.

mayfly95 said:well since you can find 22" LCD's for under $200 pretty frequently, I'd say this is a good deal and you can pick up a monitor later

just signed up for the 10% off coupon, how long does it usually take to arrive by email ?

a few hours and what domain did u use? also r u planning to get the video card from Dell or somewhere else? and if somewhere else which one?

It took my email address, however, it has been over an hour...no code?!!?!?!

maybe you should try again? i got the email less than 15 seconds after i signed up for it.

Dell should include it by now since people do use networks for things other than the internet. Streaming video anyone and file transfers anyone?

I really, really hope your office does not run on $30 switches...

and you stream at one gig?
