    I think you're a bit too late.. I saw this this morning on CAG.. It worked when i applied the coupons and stuff (didn't buy though). Now ppl are reporting that it doesn't work, I tried it for myself and now it says:

    The following coupons have been entered but require additional information or do not meet eligibility requirements. Click "View Details" link(s) for more information.
    $20 off any E&A purchase of $150 or more! Use coupon code: QGM7T0C1C2TVVD
    Expires Sunday, April 30, 2006 View Details Remove Coupon"

    Beware, Dell is backordered on the core system. Will get back in stock in six weeks. If you buy now, you will have to wait six plus weeks to get it shipped out.

    Heck, they even sell AMD processors. I'm not too surprised at the stuff they sell these days. I'm just waiting for them to start selling coffeemakers and Dell-brand toothpaste. :p

    I wonder how tech support would go for that? "Hello sir, what flavor of toothpaste are you calling about today?"
