    Just wondering do you guys think thats a solid setup. Got it for about 1728 $ after tax and all the shipping and stuff. After which I used a 40% off coupon. Free shipping and a 250 dollars off coupon to take it down to 799.28 after tax. Is this a solid build for that price or. What do you guys think. Also which kind of games should I be able to play with it. I can do CS 1.6 right.

    Do any of you know of any good racing games for pc similar to GT4 for PS2. Thank You guys.
    :cool:

    Hi.. So you got it for $1728 or $799.28? Need for speed underground 1 & 2 and Most wanted are cool games. And yes you will be able to play CS 1.6 just fine. You will be able to play HL2 and CSS if you want to on medium settings. CS 1.6 runs on my Intel 900GMA card at 60-70FPS! The X1400 is several times more powerful then the Intel 900GMA. Good luck with your new system! :)

    Got it for 799.28 After the discounts. Sorry about that. Thanks for info cool never heard of Most Wanted. Kind of out of gaming scene. Used to be really good when starcraft was first starting out and diablo LOD. :D The Good Old days.

    That's a ridiculous deal!
    I ordered mine with x1300 and 1.66 Ghz core duo for 900!(other than that it's exactly the same)
    I ordered mine last saturday(4/1) and it's going to be shipped tommorow(original was 4/10) so yours should take about the same time.

    bought both of them on ebay I also had a 35 off 300 but dell didnt let me combine it with the 250 even though its suppost to be stacakble with anything. The support line girl started explaining some random **** how its only for the Home customers which was what I was using the E1505 but whatever wasnt about to go crazy on them for 35 bucks. The reason why I didnt mention how much the coupons cost me is because the 3 % I get back on fatwallet will pay for it. :D Dell is there to be exploited so feel free to go at it guys the have the 40 % coupons on ebay for as low as 20 bucks sometimes.

    ON MY COUPON IT SAID IT EXPIRES ON THE 5TH HOWEVER

    THEY EXPIRE ON THE 6th at 4:59:59

    That's an amazing deal. I want the same laptop.

    How do you know if the coupons are stackable?

    The 35 dollar coupon was advertised on the dell website as stackable with anything. I still have it if anyone really needs it. It adds up in a way. I paid 2 bucks for it willing to give a way to somone that will actually use it.

    By the way guys was it worth it spending extra 100 on screen extra 100 on processor and extra 145 on HD just wondering. If I made the right choices :rolleyes:

    The screen upgrade is only worth it if your going to be gaming or editing photos or movies. The CUP upgrade will help. And the $145 upgrade was an upgrade to a faster HD. Like 5400 to 7200. That will help your load times... But hey you got a really crazy deal on your E1505. $799 on that machine. VERY GOOD! :)
