Got sent this Dell special offer - up to $500 off Vostro 430 business desktops. The following for $1,599:
- Intel Core i7-870
- Windows 7 Pro 64bit
- 8GB DDR3 NECC
- 1TB SATA
- Dell 24" P2411H LCD
- 1GB nVidia GeForce GTS240
- DVD Burner
- 1 Year NBD Onsite service
Pretty happy with the Vostro/Optiplex desktops around the office (especially with Dell's onsite service that replaces your dead hard drives right on your desk). However is this a bargain?
very similar computer + screen from msy (pick up) would cost u around $1150 built (-70$ if u build urself) without windows
so it depends if the dell service package(very valuable to some) + windows is worth the $450 to you.
i used the whirlpool $1,110 gaming config and changed it to meet the cpu/ ram/ gpu of the dell
