    I tried use it, got the standard cannot process/find page when I try to update lark, unfortunate. Unbelievable price with XP.

    You can get it down to €199 if you change the warranty to 90 days. Also, you can have an optical mouse rather than a wheel mouse at no extra cost

    But... that's WITHOUT shipping and VAT. Add that in and it becomes €300.79

    dudes. this pc with a smidge less memory BUT with a 17" CRT monitor and delivery and VAT included can normally be bought for c. €350 , that €199 base model will come to €310 with delivery and vat included but with no monitor , mindya with a Gig of RAM too :p

    You can fit a 2nd hard drive in there but there is no actual mounting inside... I think there is a 3rd party company that makes one, but unles you carry your oc around with you all day I;m sure it would be fine sitting wherever you put it. I've had one in my 4500 for ages, and it has had some moving about and it's fine

    You cant buy Dell in the shops, so give them a call or go online. 1860021321 www.dell.com


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty


    Me wants one. €350 with the 17" monitor. Now to find some €€€


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    €199 is grand. €300 is not. €60 for delivery on something which costs €199 ... do the math.

    No thanks Dell.

    The dell site must rate as one of the worst eccomerce sites - here is what I found:

    * special offers such as free delivery appear to apply to offers as above but don't.
    * It is very awkward to find the subtraction to remove the added warranty they add on by default.
    * I was ordering a load of computers for business leasing and they totally lost the order. Convenient when the price per pc was 400 including tft monitor - I think they really didn't want to sell very many!
