    I just posted it a few hours ago. And its dead already! Stupid Dell :( j/k. It was a killer deal though... The price shows over $800 now instead of $606 or something starting price + the 8% off you could get off to bring it down to around $555.

    hmm, isn't this very similar to the $400 off EPP deal? Can it be combined with any coupons? Also, I see this one doesn't come with any extended warranties (like the one I priced through EPP) - do you guys think I'd need them? Do I need XP Pro? Thanks all, Jennie
