    I can't believe that price for that config, so I went out and tried myself and came up w/$1,826 for that config at Dell.com. What'd I miss? You get a coupon I don't know about? This $1,826 is after the $400 rebate.

    Sucks I had to cancel the old order and lose 5 days, but to save money and get the processor I REALLY wanted is much better.

    I'll use teh $100+ I saved to order the 533MHz DDR2 and sell the old 400MHz stuff on ebay.

    Thanks guys!

    Does anyone know of coupons that would work with the dell canada website?

    I tried using the coupons with and configured a system that has a price equivelant to that needed by the coupons but the site tells me that either more info is needed or that i do not meet the eligibility requirements.

    i hardly think its fair that these coupons would not work with the dell canada website, and it would be too expensive for me to order a laptop from the states.
