    Use this e-value setup via EPP :)

    Please note that the EPP discount isn't shown until you add it to your cart. So the price on the right is going to be discounted 7% :)

    There is no other better deal ATM....

    Enjoy!

    Some people will say you are being fraudulent for ordering through there but I know better :)

    I have gotten into long, heated discussion on NBR but no one listens to me (or my rep that has confirmed that the EPP site is more a marketing strategy than anything else).

    You could and no one would know the difference but it is ultimately your choice...

    Believe me when I say ppl on these boards get WAY too serious. lol

    In the Dell forum I tried explaining what was told to me from my EPP rep and it got way out of hand.

    Let's put it this way: If Dell really, truly wanted to restrict the EPP site they would make you verify your credentials and setup an account (they do this with their premier accounts).

    Dell would lock down the EPP site with member codes, etc if it were something other than a just another section (ie Home, SB, Enterprise, Public, etc).

    Just add the WUXGA to the 280's in the config I showed ya.

    It still is less than $2500 total which is pretty good, IMO.

    Can someone enlighten me on this issue? I don't understand what is so controversial about this link and why doesn't everyone get it from here?

    It is much less expensive when compared to one configured on alienware.com with the base $1799.00 value.

    What if I decided to order from this link today? Will dell/alienware require me to confirm my affiliation to obtain this link/coupon? Will I get penalize or something?

    BTW has anyone ordered from this link that is not affiliated with dell/alienware?

    Dell has never verified any of my EPP orders, not do I know anyone that has placed an order on the EPP site have it messed with.

    Seriously, if Dell cared they would lock it down....

    are there e-value codes to go alone with these deals?

    or you have to use the links?

    I was hoping to mention these codes (if there were any) to a rep on the phone, and have him knock off a tiny bit more xD

    On the main Dell page, there is a link that says something about "See July Flier." It takes you to the systems listed in their current add. I believe you can see the code from there.
