    How's that? I thought after new year there will be a sales (like the $100 upgrade cpu :( ) but I guess not. So I go ahead and do the order. If anyone knows another saving sales. Please feel free to input. :D

    from another forum. The coupons are from the dell holiday game. Either you win the prizes or the discount.

    The game was over, but there are still counpons that the members on other forums got and posted on the forum.

    I wonder if I'm allow to post the other forum link here... (wait til the mod approve then I'll post the link).

    Like mentioned by nhantran they were from the dell holliday game. The game ended on the 31'st.

    ------------

    Looks like you got yourself a great deal! But I think you missed out of two other discounts...

    1) 3% (Cash rebates) When using a fatwallet.com account

    2) 2% off when paying using a dell preferred account.

    Other than this meager $40 bucks off, and a little bit of extra trouble / work, YOU DID VERY WELL! Hopoe your new machine works well for you.

    I've gone to fat wallet and created an account. I used fatwallet links to get to dell.com. Is that all I have to do when I buy my next laptop to get the 3%?

    I have a dell preferred account but never see anything other than the 25 buck discount on shipping. Suggestions?

    Thanks for the PM

    Just ordered my own 6000!

    Everything's the same as yours except I got a 1.86Ghz Pentium M

    I'm going to write a review once it comes
