    Thats because it is crap. and they have Jacked up the price of everything in the outlet store in the past few mounths. not worth buying from anymore.

    try FS Computers in the shop section on boards, there are some bargains to be picked up, i got mt inspiron 6000 off it back in may for 400 less than a dell, and it was 2 weeks old.

    It's taking too much business away from the main site I'd say....go look at the UK inspiron inventory....upwards of 80 inspirons there alone and the prices are similar to what they were on the irish outlet...okay fair enough Dell UK prolly has a bigger turnover for refurbed and returned machines but I'd bet 99% of those laptops are in a warehouse in this country somewhere...

    uk site ship here i guess?
    also any other places would be helpful
    i am looking on this forum too but its hard to find one i actually like, and when i did it didnt work out

    drdre, if he wants to buy all of that stuff Im assuming it's for a business. If it's for a business he should open a business account with them, then he'll have a personal sales rep who you could talk to about it and negotiate down prices. They seem to give a nominal 10% off atleast for business customers.

    As someone else mentioned set up a business account, but I'd stick with just buying the PCs and server from them....
    Wireless modem/router can be gotten in a package that is also a multiport switch....printers I'd source someplace else too....dell rebrand lexmark AFAIK and the ink replacement is very costly...you could pick any of these up in any good shop or online.
