    Yesterday my father’s computer died on him, since his birthday was near I decided to surprise him with E1505.

    Tax $45.23
    Total $807.13

    Since he’ll be using it for surfing the net, quickbooks, MS Office, and few online games (mainly poker), I think this system is more then what he need. I’ll just add another stick of RAM when it arrives.

    I notice there’s a $10 Mail in Rebate for this router, and it seems like nobody is taking or getting Rebate for it. Is it because it arrived as free not purchased? Does anybody know if I am eligible for this MIR? And does anybody know if calling/email/chatting for CDs still work with Dell?

    Thanks.

    I'm not sure if you would be eligible or not. I assume that since you are getting it for free, then you are probably not eligible. Yes, you can still call/email/chat - i recommend chat though, to get the CDs.

    Thanks SouthernGirl!!
    I'll start the chat as soon as it arrives. I am still searching though few discount sites out there but it seems like nobody knows about $10 MIR for this router. Argggg!!!!

    Just check the status of my laptop. I ordered it yesterday and it's already in Boxing Status!!! :cool: I guess by Mon-Tue it'll be shipped? :D
    Good to see Dell working fast like my chinese food takeout place. (less then 15 minutes from ordering to my office) :D

    Don't get your hopes up, I ordered mine Sunday afternoon and it's still in the boxing stage.
