    Ordered one earlier on. Upgraded to have a sound card and modem and got some Dell speakers. Seems like a very good deal with a 19" TFT. Also did it through linemypocket so that's another 2% off.

    Just priced what I got earlier with this code using the normal customise and buy and it comes to £865. I ended up paying £556 with the code. Massive saving.
  • If you work for a company that buys a lot from Dell then you may find they are part of Dell's Employee Purchase Program here :

    All you need is the discount code from your employer. (7% Discount)

    I just checked with my companies code and this pc comes to £478.28 !

    BARGAIN !

    Shame i don't need one though !

    I just purchased three lower spec 5150's for the same price as these, on Friday.

    think they would have debited my card yet? Could I cancel and reorder these?

    You will need to speak to Dell customer services on Monday, it wont be too late even if they have debited your card, they will refund but I doubt that it will be debited as this usually take around 3-4 days.

    HYPERMEMORY™ is the total of local and available shared system memory used by the GPU for the processing and creation of 3D and other images. Local on-board video memory is 128MB.
