Coupons? F'en Serious?

It's a system w/ 9800M GT SLI, priced at 1050. Grab it while you can w/ the link. Chances are, it's an error because I can't get it starting from Dell.com

My current system was 3.8k before taxes when I got it btw.

If I was into buying it, I'd just go w/ base CPU or one above, add small stuff like bluetooth, better WiFI, and best warranty, and THATS IT.

Buying Extreme CPU etc just defeats the purpose of getting a good deal from Dell.

I'll find out today whether my two year old E1705 has bitten the dust... Thanks to this thread, if that is indeed the case, I plan on picking one of these up. My only regret is that the XPS is, in my mind, fugly. Cheers and thanks for pointing this deal out.

Hey guys, I have a question.

Would that basic configuration with upgraded processor to the T8300 and a degraded harddrive to 250GB 7200RPM for 1,059$ be better than a Gateway p-7805u FX?

Also, what does a PhysX card do and can it be added later?

BTW, I contacted dell and an online assistant checked and told me that it isn't an error. So if you order one, you shouldn't have to worry about it being canceled due to pricing error.
