    I was able to use the 30% off coupon my Dell rep was able to over-ride the system and get it applied.

    Maybe there will be one around Thanksgiving. If you want the same components for a lot cheaper, look at the sager 5720. It was only $2300, for the same components, without a coupon haha.

    Nope I did not know him, but he was able to get the Inspiron 30% off applied to my XPS M170.

    On another note it just arrived (thanks FedEx). Can't wait to get home and start fiddling with it.
