    Hi, I think I might already know the answer to this question but I wanted to run it past people. Is $550 a good deal on a Dell XPS M1710 in new-ish condition with the following specs?


    - Intel Core Duo T2700 (2MB Cache, 2.33 Ghz Processors, 667 Mhz FSB)

    - 2GB ram

    - 100GB ULTRA ATA 7200RPM HDD

    - 512MB NVIDIA GEFORCE GO 7900 GTX

    Thanks :cool:

    Wow! That's more than a fantastic deal! :D Go for it ;) But it looks a little "too good to be true" as Primeh mentioned. Be sure of everything before pulling the trigger. Play safe. :)

    Darn, I got an email back from the person and it's definetly a scam :( . As soon as I saw "Sorry for my late reply but I'm currently in England" I knew. I googled the entire message and it came up word for word on spam alert forums. Oh well, I'm not suprised, just annoying that people try to do that to each other :mad:
