lol. I usually would say ~drool~ but foaming at the mouth....that has a certain pluck to it!

 

if you're gonna foam all over the keyboard you better order the "complete care coverage"

 

This one's in my cart and is brand new! Trying to decide if I should get it or wait for Core 2.

^^nice price for a new one. i hear the core duo 2 should be a great chip, but nothing too obscenely faster to the core duo, all the core duo 2 tests ive seen compare it against the p4.

lol. woulda been nice to splurge on that, but i was already when over my budget with the comp.(only wanted to spend $300-$400 on a buisness comp, but decided i needed some upgrades )

 

i'm about to get the same one nedsta, except a little more upgraded. i'm gonna try to wait until august 4th so i don't have to pay the tax.

 

I heard that some of the dell direct stores are offering a discount on sales tax this weekend. Call them up and see if the ones in SC are doing it too. That way you will not have to wait.

 

The Audigy sound package isnt worth it BTW. ****, that thing has too much AOL stuff on it. Overall its a nice package, wow, Dell trying to bring in the customers lol. (Yes I know I dont own a Dell, but good deal)

 

Awesome dude, I got about the same thing, with a worse battery and a smaller hard drive for about 10 bucks more. You got a great deal.

 

I am foaming about the arrival of my e1705 on monday....Two more sleeps...

 

*notes that it took me 2 days of non stop outlet stalking and coupon hunting to settle on this*


couldnt find any outlet coupons that worked, so i grabbed this soon as i saw it. looks like itll ship when im out of town, itlll be waiting for me on the 10th tho. so cheers!
