I was reading a story on Yahoo here Dell is one of the companies struggling and may see restructuring. Any thoughts on the impact to the company/service?
The coupon was sent in a SB mailing this morning. It is 20, 25, or 30% off. You don't see the value until you enter it in a shopping cart. Mine was for 30%.
I would be looking to upgrade the RAM to at least 3GB and add/increase disk space. Other wise it's not a bad deal, except you need to code and don't know what percentage till you type it in.
Both upgrades are usually cheaper done outside of Dell.
come on man.. You either need to share the code ..if its not a one time use ..or atleast give a great deal on the configuration on which a coupon maybe applied. You did neither!! Its like telling ... I got xbox from my aunt. Check with your aunt!!

The code comes from an email sent by Dell 'email deals subscribers'. You should quit whining about not getting the coupon handed to you and actually read the thread.

OP: You should add YMMV and/or email subscribers to the title / op.

Yeah I did not want to upgrade at Dell but the price of the system is $669 before discounts. You need to add $30. You can add the DVDRW which adds $30 and adds a $30 discount. Or you can upgrade the memory for $30 to 2GB. However this doesn't apply a discount which makes the system about $23 more expensive.
The question "Is this a good deal?" says it all...
Email subscribers (I am one and have coupon for 25% off and it is not really worth it for me) already got this e-mail and non-subscribers can't use it. Thinking of tax and you can get a 20% off coupon, I suggest to wait for a better deal, unless you need the computer now and you want Dell.
If you subscribe now, maybe you can use my coupon :
Dell said:Try your luck and save as much as 20%, 25% or 30% off select* Vostro® Laptops, Vostro Desktops, Latitude® Laptops, OptiPlex® Desktops, Precision Workstations and PowerEdge® Servers priced $699 or more. Enter your Mystery Coupon code*: 4GLB9RXTRR0213 at checkout and watch the savings appear. The Mystery Sale Event expires 11/05/08
Also instead of 80 GB HD, you can get 250 GB.. Which is again free. Also, if you add a 20" Monitor, you get free shipping , which makes the monitor only $98~

Nevermind added the wrong 20". Should be the Dell 20 inch Widescreen 2009WFP UltraSharp™ Digital Flat Panel Display.
Thanks, Just ordered this with the 20" and 3yr Warranty (normally don not get extended warranty) but it would get me over $499 for free shipping. Total prior to tax $517. I think this is a good deal. Quad Core, ATI 3450, Vista Business w/XP, 20" LCD, 250GB HD, DVD R/W, 3yr Warranty

The Dell mystery email coupons still work fine with this Vostro 410. Considering the 20" LCD and Vista Business with free XP Pro downgrade I would certainly consider this hot if you have the Dell email coupon
IMO here is the optimal 410 config to maximize the 30% coupon
