So this is a variation on the previous Studio Hybrid deal - that one got locked, don't know what happened there, but this should be interesting to some people out there: So you start with the following $899 configuration: Text This and the $1099 configuration comes with free shipping and a $75 gift card. The lower end models do not. In fact, if you really want the blu-ray drive, choose the $1099 configuration Add the 20% American Express coupon: QLT96K?4K445DX (Exp 10/1/2008 or 1000 uses) You are supposed to use American Express but I was able to stack it with 3% DPA discount. So the math works out like the following: Studio Hybrid - $1,079.00 Save $180 off this Studio Hybrid -$180 Save an additonal 20% on any Dell Studio Hybrid desktop purchase ! -$179.80 Save 3% with Dell Preferred Account! -$21.58 FREE GROUND SHIPPING! $0.00 Sub Total: $697.62 You'll get 4% FC: -$27.90 You'll get a $75 Dell giftcard: -$75.00 So grand total is about $594.72 plus tax on $697.62. This ends up being about $180 more than the previous deal, but the machine is much better spec'd and comes with a monitor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5750 (2.00GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Service Pack 1 Dell E207WFP 20 inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor 3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz (2 DIMM) 320GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM) Slot Load CD / DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Drive) Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Integrated Stereo Audio with 5.1ch digital output (S/P DIF) Dell Wireless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse 1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis Dell 8 in 1 Media Card Reader Integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet $75 Studio Promo Gift Card It's a bummer that the wireless option is $70, but after 20% off, I guess it's "only" $56. Anyway, hope you guys find this useful. |
