    My guess is he probably ordered through EEP w/ the 35% off coupon (expired), automatic 4% discount & 3% DPA discount.

    Since the coupon expired l guess not, but there are always deals with dell going on and coupons are released every week. Watch out on Thursdays, l think thats the day new coupons come out every week.
