    I've ordered my system sometime last week and now it's on its way to my house, will probably arrive tomorrow! :D

    Anyways, I've previously posted on another thread the specs that I ordered, however, I've called them back and changed to the following:

    --Intel Core Duoprocessor T2400 (2MB/1.83GHz/667MHz)
    --15.4 Inch UltraSharp TrueLife Wide-screen WSXGA+
    --1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm
    --256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400 HyperMemory
    --60GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
    --24X Combo CD-RW/DVD (figure wouldn't be burning DVD too much)
    --Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)
    --Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module
    --85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
    --1 Year Limited Warranty

    Total - coupons - discounts (from dell manager) = $911 after tax.

    The key is to call them up many times and play around a little bit ;)

    Can't wait to get my system!!!

    Good luck to everyone on getting great deals!

    Congratulations. Sweet configuration. I only hope you have an external hard drive. 60 GBs are eaten up like candy (from my own experience).

    Regarding DVD burning, you can always get an external DVD drive but the bottleneck would be the USB 2 interface when compared to an internal drive in a desktop.
