Cheapest way to get 9300 from Dell

Thread Starter 
I'm using the fatwallet discount and the 750 off coupon, but everytime I goto the Educational discount section of the website, it charges like 1 and a half times as much for the 9300 whats up?

What do I need to do to get it real cheap?

Ideas?

I just looked at the dell outlet and they seem like complete crap to me

Not only can you not really configure em, not only are they over priced, not only can you not use the $750 coupon on em, but arent they used as well?

Brand new 9300 almost fully loaded + $750 off = around $500 less than a dell outlet computer from what I can tell

I looked at 9300s on the outlet and the selection is pretty bad. I think there are a lot of people camping on shoping carts there for a while. The slection of XPS2 are usually pretty good. I just ordered a fairly well spec'd one for under $2000. 2.0GHz, 1GB, 80GB 7200, WLAN a/b/g, and some other stuff. On the day I was looking at them, the one I wanted fell out of my cart after the 15 minute limit (I am at work and have to deal with customers, so I can't baby-sit my cart like some can), but showed up again after a couple of hours. Throughtout the day there were between 4 and 30 of them listed and they were mostly the same ones I saw over and over. I think people add them to their cart to hold them and keep refreshing the cart to see if something better comes along.

I dunno, even looking at the xps gen 2 it seems they arent that great. What really gets me is the fact you cant use the coupon.

I can configure a new system with the same specs and get it cheaper than the ones they have listed there...

Wait for dell outlet coupons to come back. The coupon I used was only 250$ off but still ended up beating a similar config with the 35% off coupon by ~300$.

Most of the systems there are a rip-off. There are occasionally a few amazing deals. It is just that others put them in a cart and sit on it for a long time. You have to either get at one early or wait for someone to quit day-dreaming and let their cart time-out.
