    Assuming you can get the discount (calling Dell and/or your IT is a good way to check)...

    If (System_Price >= $1600) Discount = 12%
    Else If (System_Price < $1600) Discount = 8%

    If (Using_Dell_Preferred_Account) Discount = Discount + 4%

    If (Good_Negotiator) Discount = Discount + Random_Discount
