    There are so many freakin' ways to get a deal on the new Dell's, but what is truly my best price option? From what I've heard I'll get a discount of 5% for a new home purchase, 5% for paying via Discover, purchase a $45 discount off eGay for $6, and what else????

    There was a flyer in the paper yesterday with a decent setup for $699 (e code 07772-D80710G), but I don't want to pull the trigger yet, if I can add additional discounts to that price. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Is the $750 off if you configure above $1,499? My head is aching with all the possible options. I'd plan on adding to that offer, but I don't imagine you could customize the notebook I mentioned, and deduct the $750 on top of the current discount? Thanks much.

    Yeah I caught that. :(
    With the current E-value deal I presented, does anybody know if additional discounts can be applied, like 30% off? Just curious, because I have a feeling, the best that can be done right now, would be the E-value price, less a $45 off coupon (eGay coupon for $400+ purchase), 5% new home user discount and an additional 5% off for using Discover card.

    Since I've never done this before, I'd appreciate it if our seasoned users could confirm or deny this, and then I get make my purchase.

    Wearetheborg I noticed that, thanks. Does anybody know if you can apply say a 35% off coupon in addition to the NOW 27% off they have on these e-value codes? If not, I'm better off getting a 35% off coupon vs. the e-value deal.

    Anyone??????????
