    Hey Abaxter

    I finally got my $2400 in hand and of course the $650 off coupon is no longer. Anyways when do you think we are gonna hear about a good Coupon (getting the E1750 btw) I need atleast 650 or more to make my dreams come true hehe :D Just for f's sake heres my proposed system:

    2 Ghz Dual Core Duo T2500

    Windows Media Center

    17" UXGA Ultrasharp w/ True Life

    1 GB 667MHz Ram

    256MB 7800 Go

    80GB 7200RPM HD

    8X DVDRW +- Burner

    3945 Wireless Card

    9 Cell Battery

    350 Bluetooth

    TV Tuner w/Media Center Remote

    PRICE: 2844 - 650 Coupon = 2194 + Tax = Around 2350!!

    Dell normally issues the coupons every week or two weeks.

    I say wait until the $750 coupon comes out because $2,350 is WAY too much for a Dell laptop. That's $1,000 more then my 9300. At that price, I say look at Sager notebooks.

    Also, I ended up getting the 60GB 7200rpm HD instead of the 80GB. With that $150 I saved, I bought a 250GB 16MB buffer external HD with USB-2 and SATA. I like having all my extra data on a HD that isn't running all the time. Plus I can switch it between computers and it is more then fast enough.

    Also, don't get the upgrade 9cell battery, keep the 6cell and buy the extra 9cell for only $30.

    Don't think those $750 off deals are coming for some time & even if they do, you may find your self having to pay for the full amount 1st. Just check the Dell web site & noticed they are now using mail-in rebates!!! :(

    Too bad that mail-in-rebate isn't stackable. If it was, that would go great with a $650 coupon :D

    When I got my 9300, I got a stackable $35 off coupon. I used it with a 20% off coupon for my digital camera. I got $120 off my Canon A620. The funny thing is, I like this camera more then my laptop :p Thanks Dell!!! :D
