  1. You won't get the Dell for $299 shipped anytime soon. The best you could hope for is 10% off and a coupon like the current $40 off $400 which would bring it down to $365 shipped. Even a 15% off coupon would only get it down to around $342.

     

    As for other 17" LCD options:

     

    Rosewill for $295 shipped (today only):

  2. From the site: "For easy installation, kit includes installation and management software, hardware and step-by-step illustrated instructions."

     

    Like I said before, you get mounting hardware, probably a SATA cable, software and manual. With the bare drive you get the bare drive - usually nothing else.

     

    ZipZoomFly has the bare drive for $162 with free 2nd day shipping:

    It also says it has a 3 year warranty, which is nice.

  3. We only allow guest posting in the Deal Finder board, just to make it easier for people to help out others since they can give their own ideas and suggestions for a specific deal request without having to register if they don't want to. Registration is required to post in all the other boards.
  4. BenQ is an above-average manufacturer. Better than those SVA/Sceptre/Sylvania models that have been available lately. Here is the Pricegrabber listing for the DVI model:

    so as you can see, the Amazon price is $50 cheaper than anywhere else. This is a $400 LCD.

     

    Yes, it isn't as good as the Dell, but the Dell costs quite a bit more...

  5. Same explanation. If we bump a previous deal to the top of the home page, it gets a new ID#, so we can choose to either delete the old one or keep it in the archive. Usually if a deal is less than 4-5 days old, we'll delete the old one. Otherwise we keep it in there in case Google or Yahoo have already spidered the old page. That way people coming to the site get less 404 errors from deals that were deleted. It also keeps Google and Yahoo happy, and we need them happy to get new people to the site :)
