    if i leave the page on the about to pay page(entering credit card details) will i effectively reserve the item or not?
    I wouldn't think so.
    I make it £407 with 17 inch flat panel and 150 gig drive
    Should be a 250GB HDD and £407 is the right price - I just ordered one! I'm planning to flog on the base unit for anything over £320 and I will be left with a 17" TFT for my daughter for £85 - cheaper than Aria (or anywhere else for that matter). Anything more than £320 for the base unit and the price of her TFT just gets lower.

    Are you sure that wasn't the other Dell misprice - the seriously cheap Dimension 3000 ones where the price came down as you added more and more expensive screens??

    Doubt this is a miss price....and a damn good deal I must say....I just can't justify getting it myself ....I'll be over-run with dell bargains soon otherwise :)


    and sits in basket at £406.93

    damn...If only I didn't have a 2.8 system with 1gb memory and 2 hdd's giving me 280gb space...I could prolly argue a reason to get it...hang on..my monitor is only a 15" tft :)

    Ohh, SATA drives are quick...if your still on ATA drives and buy this system expect it to perform faster than expected :)

    My own system had an ATA driver originally and when I fitted the SATA drive I couldn't believe the difference in speed...just down to hard-drive

    It looks a similar machine to the Aldi one for £499 a week ago.......

    But that did not include a monitor or have 1Gb of RAM

    So it is indeed a very good deal.
  • This seems like a great bargain and I'm tempted. I've seen references to a 5% off code in this thread. Does anybody have information about this?

    Thanks
