So I'm ready to buy a Dell Vostro 1700 - Where to buy it???

So I'm ready to buy a Dell Vostro 1700. Do I just go to Dell.com and configure it and buy it or do I need special coupons fron somewhere or something else.

I just want to get the best price.

Also: Why is it that I can configure the same computer by choosing Standard, Smart, or performance as the base and get 3 different final prices. Do they just think we're stupid?

You can order online or by calling. Online is usually the easiest. If you want to save some money, go onto google and type in "Dell coupons". You can find some for really good deals, just watch the expiration date on them.

As far as the configurations, they offer different things on each choice. They end up sacrificing somethings that cost you more in the end. Usually configuring the lowest end, ends up being cheaper.

Interesting. Experiment with the different options then and choose the one that gives you the best end result. Like I said before, search google for coupons to save even more.

Yeah, try dealcatcher.com. Here's a link to the Small Business coupon page: http://www.dealcatcher.com/dell-sb-coupons I know I saw at least one deal for the 1700.

If the owner of the thread doesn't check out this deal I doubt that it is going to be there for long, I found a Vostro 1700 in the Dell Outlet (scratch and Dent) for less then a grand with almost identical stats. http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlin [...] 1700&s=dfb
Its stats are:
Vostro 1700
Intel Core 2 Duo - 22GHz (T7500)
Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic
160 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
3 GB DDR2 RAM
DVD/RW
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
Intel 4965 802.11a/g/n Dual-Band Mini Card
for $989.00

Like I said before, it will probably be gone by the time you read this (thats how high the demand is) but I used this as an example of what you can find in Dell Outlet.[/quotemsg]

*I previously posted this vostro in another thread but thought that it would go well here too.
