    Have you tried checking in Amazon?
    I know they had a deal for Alphas not too long ago.

    How do you get a good deal? You buy something else. :D

    All jokes aside, you should wait for the next Dell Mystery Coupon sale. They usually have one around holidays.

    At this point all of the prices are inflated on the outlet.

    Here is the real trick. Tuesday morning around 8-9am central time dell outlet releases coupons for their home outlet. If you get on there as soon as the coupons become available, the cheaper and hard to get systems will not have been snatched. I have seen an AW17R2 go for about 1000 before taxes with 25% off. Sometimes they even go as high as 35% off, but in my opinion anything over 20% is good. I actually made a one note document to compare prices on some of the outlets (lenovo included) because it seems like when they do % off coupons, they inflate the prices by at least 10%.

    Long story short, to get the best deal from the outlet, you have to be super fast and get to the coupon within 30 minutes of its release.

    Oh one more thing. I have noticed that the dell chat function has more computers than we can see on the regular outlet page. I almost got a base AW15 (newest gen base) for about 855 out the door. Canceled it because the i5 was dual core and I figure if I am spending nearly 1g, its gotta be at least a quad.

    Good luck hunting.

    Usually such deals are not on multiple systems to prevent abuse.
