    Good find! The $750 off coupon I used has expired, and it was a better deal for a $2000-2150 configuration. This is a better deal for any other dollar amount (Under $2000 and the $750 coupon wouldn't work, over $2150 and 35% off is more than $750).

    Note that most of the user upgradable parts cost less with this discount than you could get elsewhere, like newegg. 1GB of DDR2 ram is only about $160 with this discount. That would run you over $200 at Newegg.

    Awesome deal. I want to get this so bad and have the money but still think the xps 2 would be better for me. I'll mostly be gaming. Hopefully a coupon will come around soon that will work with the xps 2.

    I'm happy it's still working for you guys.

    I'm a big Corsair fan and willing to pay a few extra bucks for quality RAM.

    Huuuh.

    It doesn't work on the I9200, I9300 or either XPS. Pretty sure thats the only systems it doesn't work for. Its an Inspiron coupon.

    I tried configuring a I6000, configure it all to your specs and then click add to cart. At that screen there should be a box that says apply coupon. Put the coupon code in here and apply it. The page should reload showing that it has applied the 35% off coupon. Just so you guys have an idea, i configured a I6000, 2ghz P-M 533mhz FSB, 1GB 400mhz DDR2 ram, 24x cd burner, 128mb x300, 4 year warranty + accident insurance, Norton Anti-virus 15 month subscription, SXGA+ screen all for 1950 with free 2 day shipping!

    *Dell Inspiron 9200, P-M 2.1ghz 400mhz FSB, 1 GB Ram 333mhz, 60gb 7200rpm HD, 128 ATI M Radeon 9700 (OC: 485/270), XP Pro SP2, Wifi + Bluetooth*

    So how do you get it to work ???
