That is an absolutely insane deal. The thing that sticks out to me is a 320 GB hard drive. The amount of stuff you don't need that you could store is mind boggling. :wacko:

I am looking for a good deal on a laptop if anyone sees/knows one. My wife needs a laptop for school.


You can get the same $350 off plus 15% off on inspiron notebooks. I have a 15% off coupon code if you want it.

Well I'm a nerd so it's not uncommon for me to use a LOT of storage space. Granted I have stuff for CF but I currently have 6 hard drives full with about 1.8 TB:sad:

And I am NOT going to ask what is taking up so much space, but those divx ahhhhh "movies" could be part of your problem.

We currently carry 1TB internal Hard Drives in the University Book Store for $349. They are so heavy, it's crazy.

You want to hear an insane deal?

I just recently got a used computer off of E-Bay from some company...

It's an Acer T180-AD440 or something, with:

AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2.3 GHz (4400+ I think)
1 Gig Ram, DDR2 at 300 some MHz
320 Gig SATA Hard Drive
Geforce 6100 nForce 405 onboard memory, 256 megs
DVD-RW capabilities
Firewire
Built in Memory Card reader
Ethernet, 5.1 surround sound ability, all that fun stuff..

It doesn't come with any software, all it comes with is the power cable and a serial number for Vista Home Premium

All this... for $167 before tax and shipping. I got it for $222 after all was said and done.

Now how's that for a heck of a deal???
Granted, it's good for those of us who don't mind getting a used computer, and also who don't need a single bit of extra software, or bundled peripherals.

GotApex? Deals & Coupon Codes is a good place to keep track of the latest Dell deals too. I've helped 3 people in the past year or so order brand new Dell PCs and they got a great price and have been pleased with the PC. My current Dell is over 5 years old (good old Dimension 4500) and still running strong on XP Pro. Not even tempted to buy a new one yet and this is coming from a guy that works with desktop hardware for a living so I'm pretty picky about performance things sometimes.

That is a steal! You probably could have turned around and sold it for at least double that I bet. You can get software and peripherals cheap if you know how to look for deals. I've done the ebay thing before too with used PCs. If you know what you are looking for and what is a good price for it you can find some real steals that sneak through the cracks.

I wish I could afford a new computer... my laptop is nice but it doesn't run todays games :no:

And the 60 gig hard drive I used to have in here got pretty croweded pretty quick (it crapped out and my uncle gave me a 100 gig one he wasn't using any more... I haven't filled that up yet but give it time)
