hey there groovy gang!

i recently ordered the vostro 1700 (31/07/07) with the following specs and was wondering whether you guys think this is a good deal.

He said this was with free delivery

what do you guys think?
is there anyway i can convince him to lower the price? (without canceling and starting again)

any comments would be very much appreciated!

Seems good to me, i got something similar for £797, it will be around £809 with bluetooth added which i will request.

This was after my original order of £822 with inferior components and a second one with basically what you have listed for £869. Both cancelled.

 

inferior components....explain please!

i dont want to be getting cheap crapola!

also, dont know if you're aware of the travel remote thing going on...i tried to get one but the CSR said he couldnt do it for free! did you manage, or didnt bother?

 

My first build sucked because it had 1GB of ram and 1440x900 screen, no wireless n, and vista home basic. Cost me £822, so i cancelled. Thats what i mean by inferior components because the second build had a better screen, more ram, and vista business and it only costed a tad more.

My second build was like yours, same components, took advantage of the £70 off deal last weekend, it came to £869.

Out of curiosity today i built another one and found it came out much cheaper due to the free shipping and save £50 deal. So i rebuilt the exact same specs as before, biggest screen, 2GB ram, vista business etc and added a wireless n as well and cancelled my second order because this third order was cheaper AND had wireless n. It costs £797 at the moment, im gonna have bluetooth added as well. Its in my sig

With my first order i phoned in about a remote and got a call back early the next morning, never answered too sleepy, but the guy left a message saying i had a remote coming with my first order, didnt say which one or anything. Dosent matter cause i cancelled it but hey i can phone up again once ive got this third order secured. The bastards charge before they ship in the UK it seems, so im like -1200 quid until i get my two refunds.

 

ouch....£1200 with nothing for you to hold! thats got 2 hurt

 

Yeah i really really hope the chick on the phone got the point across that i want them to use the cash they've already taken from me, and not charge my account again. If they do my overdraft will be maxed and ill get a bank charge, and dell will get an angry phone call But i think she got the message so it should all work out.

 

My card got charged as well waiting 5 days for a refund I'm sure that is illegal.
