Just had an email from DEll Outlet - £100 off and free delivery at the moment .. I havd a quick look and they had quite a few systems with the following spec ( i.e Dimnesions 5150's with a 256 graphics card)

Ignore the Sytem price .. once you select the £100 off button after adding to basket and then look at the Vat incl price it comes to £419.42. Not bad for this spec although no screen you can add one before checkout.

I cant find any Dell Inspiron 1300 on the outlet store. But i have found one on the normal Dell website for £455.34, i chose a TV tuner with that aswel. Do you think i could get it for less and on finance on the outlet (provding i could find one?)

HLK

Actually you can get a better price for a screen elsewhere.. but need to take delivery into account.. try aria .. tempted to replace DS's pc as he seems to hog our laptop with it having a good graphics card! Actually can anybody tell if there's much of a difference between the 9150 and 5150 ?

You have to keep checking back if you want a particular thing.. only credit cards and switch I'm afraid. But you do have the same protection.. I've rejected things from outlet within the 7 days .. hint .. sometimes if you do that they offer another discount.. but that isn't guaranteed. They will just arrange a pickup if you are unhappy. Other than 1 machine that I rejected - really because it looked well used, everthing else I have bought has been brand new .. still with the film on the screens etc (laptops). This is where a lot of Ebay sellers get their stock - that's why you have to keep checking back - they tend to nab anything with a good graphics card quickly.

Thanks HLK.

Anyone know dell finance - can you pay off more than there suggested amount for th first 12 months so you are left with less to pay off when you get to your 13th?

Sorry hit Thanks button instead of 'quote.' still answer

yes anyone can buy.

yes they are to quote Dell site -

'This is product, which has been returned to Dell for a variety of reasons such as cancellations and specification changes and is limited in quantity.* '

As I said earlier .. evry ssytem I have bought bar one has looked brand new to me. A lot of the are Doa (dead on arrivals) which have been returned and then fixed - loose wire etc..
