Here is one. 450 for a pentium 2 is bad enough, but he will include pirated software for 10 bucks a title!!!!

Anything on http://www.alienware.com/ I find that I can build comparible systems thru buying parts off newegg for a lot cheaper then buying a system from them.

My turn. From a norvegian webshop

Asus V9950 geforce FX5900 128mb AGP price: 3132 nok =~ $461(US)

Ripoff enough for you? Or should I find some more?

I would have to disagree with that one, But then again I get a student discount. But they are really one of the few places you can get a full system for $399 when they run that special. They also have a fairly good deal on their XPS GEN 5 systems.

Yeah sometimes Dell seem to be selling top of the line systems for the cost of the CPU + $50

Here is a nifty 3400+ s754 for $425.00. I like how they mention the retail price is $560.00.

That processor or any processor by AMD that is over $1000, why spend that much when you can spend less and get equal or better performance out of overclocking. Just my $.02 on this, dunno if other people feel the same way.

Hmm, I was looking for some memory the other day. I believe one of the ones I saw was some Kingston Value Ram. CDW was selling it for about $130 or so while other sites had the same stuff for around $45-50.

Not to be a thread crapper, but how would one come across these student discounts? I'm a college student and I'm thinking of buying a Dell 2005fpw LCD monitor and I'll take any discount I can get

. Given I can get any discount :shrug:

Gotta agree. Never had a problem with my dell laptop, and I absolutely love my 2405. I got amazing deals on both, and would have probably paid even more.

yeah uhh but tech support that eternally sucks, most people cant understand them, u have to buy through a small business account to get tech support that can be understood

grumperfish · Nov 28, 2005

Some guy just tried to trade me an ancient Riva TNT card for the ATI 9200 I'm selling on Craigslist... I thought he was kidding until he mentioned that he'd offer me a PS/2 mouse as a "bonus". What's sad is that there so many are people out there who'd fall for that kind of scam.

Why are you on this site if you need tech support from a company like dell? They rock, they list all their technical manuals online so you can do all the work yourself and easily if need be on their laptops. I've only dealt with their customer service a couple of times. One time I wanted copies of software for my laptop. They shipped them AIR and got them next-day. The other time was when I was going to return my extra lcd (2005fpw) and they gave me $50 to keep it. I ended up selling it and made ~$100 profit. Never had one problem with my I9300 either. The 6800Go's memory overclocked over 200mhz, and the core almost 100mhz, and it gets almost 5000 3dmarks in 05 now. It was priced lower than all the other top manufacturers when I bought it as well (40% off and other coupons).
