How is this for a deal

[chtucker]

I never needed a fast computer for home, cause I really don't play games....

BUT then I went and bought a R/C heli flight simulator....

Laptop wasn't cutting it...

Got a 15% off coupon from Dell on an Inspiron in the email box...

I also have a employee purchase program through work...

Free Shipping

AND a $200 Dell gift card.....


This is what I speced out (best video card I could get for an inspiron)
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6550 (4MB L2 Cache,2.33GHz,1333 FSB)
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2DIMMs
256MB Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT
320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
22 inch SP2208WFP widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

for $1100....

Is this a great deal?

Hope you haven't already bought it as you asked a while back....it's not a great deal, it's not a bad deal, but you could get much more for that money, or get the same for quite a bit less. You just need to shop around, or find a computer savvy friend. ;)

Acutally I did buy it:( but it was only 900+tax+150 for a wifi router and wi fi card (Next gen)

Oh well.... the 22" screen is real nice...

Don't feel bad, you didn't get raped or anything, just coulda saved a couple of bucks.
