UPDATE:
YAHOO!!! :j Just checked status of my orders online - the Dimension 3000 has been dispatched (that was quick!!) and the laptop order no longer exists (I've had 2 emails confirming my cancellation).
SO - I have a P4 2.8GHz machine with a 17" TFT being delivered for £233.81 (although my bank haven't confirmed the price being charged to my card yet).
Last day for doing this is 18th so anyone brave enough to try this too will have to do it before midnight tonight.
Mega thanks to IWANTITNOW for the tip!:money:

How did you cancel the laptop? I mean, did you just email them or is there a facility to cancel orders in your "My Account". Is there a time limit for cancelling? I have never used Dell before (but am sorely tempted after reading this!) so excuse my ignorance.

Ooh! forgot to ask...I want a PC for my young 'un but it's a bit early for their birthday (November) or Xmas. Do Dell make these slip ups often or is it not likely to happen again?

How did you cancel the laptop?

I got my order confirmation email from Dell and immediately replied to it telling them I wanted to cancel the order because my wife didn't want it. I had to email a second time just in case - I think they didn't process it because it was the weekend - but I got an email this morning accepting the cancellation.
I haven't had ANY other communication about the Dimension 3000 telling me they are increasing the price, or to tell me it has been dispatched, but their website says it's been sent to the couriers. I am hopeful that this means I will get the PC for the £233 my order confirmation says.

do i need a soundcard in the desktop

No - this has on-board sound - you just plug the your speakers into the motherboard.

I noticed that - I still need to check with my bank to see if they charged me £233 or the full £303 for the Dimension 3000 that I was left with after cancelling the laptop. Haven't taken delivery of it yet - its sitting in a depot in Coventry waiting for them to contact me with a delivery date.

Just got in touch with Walsh Western about delivery and the EARLIEST delivery they are able to give me for my PC is Friday evening!! Typical - shipped from Ireland to England in less than 48 hours, and shipped from Coventry to Oxford in 5 working days!
