It's a Dell small business deal. We bought a few for the office. You pay $329 and this what you get
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 (2.20GHz,1MB L2Cache,800FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic, Service Pack 1 Dell 19 inch Widescreen E1909WFP Analog Flat Panel Display 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 2DIMMs Single Drive: 16X (DVD+/-RW) Burner Drive 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
**** Pay $10 more, select the 250GB Hard Drive upgrade ****
Just a heads up. I bought this comp awhile back because I had excellent service from a Dell 4100. The thing I hated about this new comp is they changed all the plugs inside so you can NOT use your old hard drives and optical drives. I had to buy external cases or get raped buying new ones at Dell

It is not Dell. It is the overall technology change to use SATA instead of PATA.

Does anyone know what the power supply is? I had trouble finding in the specs.

And remember the concensus is Dell normally underrates their power supplies, meaning they say it's 250 even though the max output may be closer to 330 or so.

Time marches on and old technologies fade away. I also try to use my components as long as possible and there may be an alternative to going external or replacing old drives. You could add a PATA/IDE Controller Card if there is an available PCI slot in this PC. With that $10 or $20 expenditure, you could then use old IDE drives and even add RAID to your drives. I'm not sure if you could configure the PC to boot from them, but I'm betting that you can.
IMO, this is a barebones system with barebones components... the LCD is barely worth $100. Maybe worth it for internet browsing, but not much more at all; except maybe to cannibalize some of the parts.

Any chance of OC'ing? I was looking for a Quad core deal but given current economy maybe it's time to shrink budget...

Also this coupon takes another 5% off. WPMJLCGFQ??S0N I called rep he waived the shipping for me. Brought it down to $344 SHIPPED WITH TAX EACH.
HOT. How did you sweet talk that gentleman into waiving your shipping fee?
moneynomore said: any way to get free shipping? FYI, you need to upgrade some components of the system to get it above $499. Buying 2 systems that are less than $499 each doesn't count either.

I configured it with a 24" monitor and the tax and shipping came out to about $185 which killed it for me.
I also added a 2nd 160 Gig hard drive with 4 gigs of ram. I need it for a small business server. I noticed you can't change it to gigabit Ethernet either.

I take it back. The default shipping was next day air. I got free freight.

$399 had been an every day price for at least 2 years. This is the cheapest I have seen a desktop with a descent size lcd for $329. Black friday $299? Will see

When I called, he stated it is the black friday price and will stop the price at December 1st.
I decided not to push my luck on this order and not call back for the 5% off (15 dollars) I have free shipping already and will be happy with that.
Thanks- Got the free shipping by being nice to the Dell rep, who was in Tennessee, not overseas. Added option for 2.4ghz ($20) + 250gb ($10) + 20 inch screen ($40). Used 5% coupon. Also took off the anti virus trial ware- glad they finally have that option. Total shipped (shipping not until 12/2 though) $411. Monitor worth $200 give or take, so by time I get it will be worth $150 . so I figure the box with the $30 upgrade to about $250 and the screen for about $160 including tax and delivery. If these get any cheaper, it won't be worth searching for deals any more. **************************** FYI Order Information Vostro 200, Slim Tower Intel Pentium DualCore CPU E2220 (2.4GHZ, 800FSB1MB L2) 12/02/2008 Item Number Quantity Item Description 223-9996 1 Vostro 200, Slim Tower Intel Pentium DualCore CPU E2220 (2.4GHZ, 800FSB1MB L2) 311-7366 1 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz, Dual Channel DT 310-9322 1 Dell USB Keyboard 320-5664 1 Dell 20 inch Wide E207WFP Analog Flat Panel Monitor 320-5672 1 Integrated Intel GMA3100 MNTW/SLTW 341-4990 1 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive 7200RPM, 8MB Cache 341-4742 1 No Floppy Drive Requested 420-8547 1 Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 Vostro 313-5467 1 Dell Resource CD, Vostro 200 420-6581 1 Image Restore,Vista,Dell OptiPlex,Precision and Latitude 420-7658 1 Dell Support Center 2.0 for Dell Vostro 420-9054 1 Cyberlink Power DVD 8.0,with Media, for Dell Vostro 310-9326 1 Dell Scroll Mouse 430-2501 1 Integrated 10/100 Ethernet 410-1858 1 Adobe Reader 9.0 Multi Language,for Dell Vostro Notebooks and Desktops 313-5456 1 16X DVD+/-RW Drive 420-7241 1 roxio Creator 313-5672 1 Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio 983-4250 1 Warranty Support,Initial Year 989-5897 1 Dell Hardware Limited Warranty Plus Onsite Service Initial Year 986-5280 1 Basic Support: Next Business Day Parts and Labor Onsite Response Initial Year 540770058 Microsoft Office Live Small Business 11/25/2008)* DISCOUNT/COUPON APPLIED Subtotal: $379.05 Shipping and Handling: $0.00 Sales Tax: $31.74 Total: $410.79
