    Well, I just placed the order. Dell E1405 expected ship date: May 18, 2006. I'm quite excited. I didn't intend for the Dell 30 day on call thing and I had to call the guy up to remove that from my invoice because I didn't want to pay for that. I'll let you all know when I get it. Can't wait!

    Looks good. You could have saved $450.00 off a $1499.99 configuration though. All you had to do was spend $72.00 more to save $450.00. Or am i missing something? Looks like you didn't use it to me.

    OnreyJ just wondering where did you find the 35% off coupon. I am still not really familiar with dell coupons and in the coupon list I cannot see the 35% off one.

    http://www.newegg.com/ is the only place to go, IMO. Good prices, quick shipping, and a decent return policy.

    I picked up the 35% coupon from a direct deal email dell sent to me. It expired 5/3/06 and was for 35% off any non xps inspiron above 999. Looks like the only ones out right now are 650,500, or 450 off. Also looks like they have a few instant off deals as well

    ziishu,

    You'd probably be better of starting a new thread rather than reviving a 2 year old thread. On the plus side, I'll give you credit for searching first...
