I've been thinking it back and fourth back and fourth. Not sure should i pull the trigger. I'm really disappointed that they removed the $800 off and gave the $750. I'm wondering if it would go back to $800 on the 19th or not. The more i think about the laptop the more i want to change things.

Once i get this lappy i just plan on running it like this for aleast 6 months. Probaly gonna just keep this till it dies. I'm a counter-strike player. but will soon get into HL2 with this lappy. my first gaming rig. I'll get an external burner if anything. Probaly pick up a wireless router. Do i need one of those pcmia network cards? or will the built-in one good me good. I'm a light gamer, more of a dvd watcher, web browser and other things. I just wanted this for my desktop replacement. =P my in car dvd player . any words to make me feel confident in pulling the trigger now instead of waiting for 4/20 and seeing what happens when the coupon expires?

Looks like a pretty good deal for a monster of a computer. If you are gonna get the external burner anyways, why don't you save the 29 bucks and get an internal 8X DVD-ROM?
If you buy the computer right now, once you receive the computer, if there is a better deal during your 21-day satisfaction period, you can try calling Dell to tell them that you are gonna return the computer if they don't match the price. Most people have gotten money back from that.
