    all, which one is better, to purchase dell from dell's website with their student package or through their reseller websites (recommendation?) ?

    dell's website offers a very interesting student package, but sometimes we can find an even cheapre price through the resellers.

    enlightment please? [B)]

    rgds,

    I've never seen a Dell sold of Dell. Who are some of their resellers? As for who to go with, get the best price.

    Costco sells them, but they are not well priced. Dell direct is the way to go. It is the cheapest if you use coupon codes.

    GPU cooling (100°C->75°C)* Inspiron 8600 * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo (337/242 -> 400/300) * 2x256 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * Aquamark 3: 24058 * 3DMark'03: 3404 * 3DMark'01 SE: 13120

    You may get a better deal with Dell direct unless you are working thru a university. With some universities, you will have the university discount plus teh student discount which can help a good deal.
