Anyone else get in on the 46% off coupon on the 1520/1720 Vostro's?

    There was a coupon going around at the beginning of the week for 46% off any 1520 or 1720 Vostro priced at $1500 or more. I had been wanting a spare desktop machine here for a while, though money was so tight I couldnt justify spending the cash right now. At 46% off though, I think I got a pretty good deal.

    I ordered the following build for only $811 after the discount.....

    Vostro 1720 $811.08
    Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2.4GHz1066MHz FSB, 3M L2 Cache

    I've got my own antivirus software, and I'll be putting Windows 7 RC-1 on it for now until it ships later this year. I would have liked to go for more warranty coverage, but money is so tight and I've yet to have an issue with any DELL machine I've owned (5 now overall), though from what some people say, I've been very lucky in that regard.

    Overall I think this should be a very nice 17" desktop machine for the money.
