Cheapest Dell 3000 PC????

[Guest Luckycharm]

Looking for a deal for boyfriend's mom!

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Looking for codes

free ship

and flatscreen upgrade?

[RossMAN]

Luckycharm,

 

You came to the right place and I might have a coupon code or two I can give away for free.

 

I just have a few questions to help us find the right deal for you:

 

1) What state will this be delivered to?

 

2) What's your budget?

[Guest Luckycharm]

Indiana

 

and $400-$500 if possible. I have a MIR for $100 on the 2400 series I believe? Already found to go through Mypoints, now am looking for the perks and thought of you!!!

[RossMAN]

Can you provide a link to the MyPoints offer you saw?

 

I may be able to save you 5% or more.

 

Are you or your boyfriend a CitiBank credit card customer?

[Guest Luckycharm]

um the mypoints link takes you here:

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/odg_special49?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&redirect=1

 

That's just a bonus for points.

 

the rebate I found is on the dell site:

 

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/dimen_3000?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&

 

and thanks for asking cause I just found $100 Cable rebate for high speed too!

[Guest Luckycharm]

okay NO to the citibank card (crap card anyway )

[RossMAN]

You're welcome.

 

I've used the $100 high speed internet rebate before, it's a great deal!

 

Good news is that Dell Home does NOT collect sales tax in Indiana, only these states:

Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Virginia, Missouri, California, Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, Minnesota and Mississippi.

[Guest Luckycharm]

Actually you saved me 6% there bud LOL! They raised our sales tax to 6% last January.

[Guest Luckycharm]

Okay, talking it out here this is what I've come up with:

 

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/dimen_3000?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

 

That's the puter Which is $549

there's $100 MIR right off the bat on it

Then Another $100 for Cable MIR

2nd Burner upgrade FREE

Shipping FREE

NO sales tax on it

and

Go through MYpoints for 2 points per $ spent.

 

Did I miss anything?

 

Should be $350 for the puter after rebates plus free ship and I'll get 1000 points outta the deal?

[RossMAN]

You're quite good at this

 

I would forget about the MyPoints because they're essentially worthless (IMHO).

 

Open a new browser window and price the same system at Dell SB which will charge you sales tax. However I have two coupon codes (no they cannot be stacked) which may save you 10 - 25% off.

 

Let me know what the price is.

[Guest Luckycharm]

Rossman thank you hon, she is here right now and wants to stay with the HOME deal, the business one is a bit techie for her. She needs very basic.

 

Yeah I'm a little DEVIL you know, I can do a deal just haven't done one in awhile and was afraid I'd miss something!

[RossMAN]

If you don't mind paying a little more Dell Small Business may have the better deal. I have put in bold the better specs:

 

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor (2.80GHz, 533 FSB) vs Intel® Celeron® D Processor 320 (2.40GHz, 533 FSB)

 

FREE UPGRADE 512MB Dual Channel 400MHz DDR SDRAM vs 256MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHz

 

FREE Dell 720 Color Printer 1 yr AE Service vs no free printer

 

FREE! Single Drive: 48x CD-RW Drive (the Dell Home wins this one with dual)

 

FREE 56k modem in Dell Home

 

15" flat panel LCD vs 17" CRT (Dell Home save $50 with no monitor), Dell SB upgrade to 17" LCD only $80

 

Dell Small Business 2 year warrranty vs Dell Home 90 day warranty. The 2 year warranty covers both the CPU and monitor! Your b/f's mother would be upset if her PC broke in 6 months and she had to pay to fix it, wouldn't she? With the Dell SB deal you get a standard 2 year warranty!

 

Dell SB price for the above better configuration is $649 - $150 rebate - - $100 internet rebate - coupons I will PM you = possible better deal.

 

If you don't care about specs and want dirt cheap, the Dell Home at $349 is a killer deal considering the 17" CRT and no sales tax.

 

However the Dell Small Business deal:

Intel Pentium 4 vs Celeron

512MB RAM upgrade for free vs 256MB

FREE color inkjet printer

15" flat panel LCD or upgrade to 17" LCD for only $80 more

!!!2 YEAR WARRANTY!!!

 

I will PM you both Dell SB coupon codes right now, good luck!

[RossMAN]

It appears the Dell Small Business coupon code I was going to send you saves another $150 on certain Dell Dimension 3000 PC's.

 

That's an amazing deal!

[Guest Luckycharm]

OMG redoing the entire thing!!! THANK YOU!

[RossMAN]

OMG redoing the entire thing!!! THANK YOU!

You're welcome that's what we're here for to save you $$$

 

It's unfortunate the $150 off coupon didn't work but I still think the Dell Small Business is a better deal with P4, 512MB RAM, 15" LCD, FREE color printer and my favorite ... 2 year warranty.

 

Here is a link to Dell SB rebates.

 

When you save, you win!

 

[Guest Luckycharm]

Thanks for your Help Ross!

 

Much appreciated! Got the SB deal!

[RossMAN]

Post a list of your specs and final price you paid!
