Well here's the deal. Dell changes their special deals on their website every Wednesday night at midnight CST, and by about 5:00 a.m. CST Thursday morning they are completely updated on their website....
So this week (starting July 3rd), if you purchase an M60 you get an instant $200 online and a $200 mail-in-rebate. On top of that you will see that their optical drives are discounted alot (for example I got the DVD/CDRW combo for only $30, but it's not an "advertised" special). As you probably know, you can also save alot of money but buying the minimum configuration of RAM and then buying 1GB through Crucial. To get the additional stackable 10% small business coupon takes a little more work. Go to the dealcatcher forums and there is a thread where people are posting all the latest Dell one time use coupons
http://forums.dealcatcher.com/tm.asp...ode=&s=#74003. Or you can also drop by the fatwallet forums
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/cate....cfm?catid=64. It takes a little patience but you can usually find someone who isn't going to use their stackable coupon who will post it on-line for free. If you get desperate you can always pay $5 as people are willing to sell them. Once you have the coupon just go to the configured system you have in your cart, apply the coupon code, then go to checkout. Walaaah! You will save a total of approximately $750 dollars, which to me was a 23% price savings.
Oh and shipping! Dell told me when I purchased on July 3rd that my system would ship July 21st. Well I logged on to order status today and my system has already gone through order processing, pre-production, kitting, build, testing, and is now in boxing!!!!! Looks like I'll be receiving the 128MB nvidia card and 7200 RPM hard drive all within a week, way ahead of schedule!!!!
