Any deals on Dell Desktops?

[Nicko]

Heya all,

My fam is looking into getting a new desktop. Looking for it to be great for normal home app use, as well as be able to play games fairly well. Anyone know any current good deals on Dell desktops for fam use as well as gaming?

Also, if there are any non-dell deals, please post those as well.

Thx all!

Nicko

Check fatwallet.com for time to time... usually they get 30% off coupons which work rather nicely to make for some very cheap Dells.

Alright, I just checked out fatwallet, and found an interesting deal on a dell.

Here it is:

XPS 400
Pentium® D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology (2.80GHz, 800FSB)
256MB PCI-E ATI Radeon X600 SE HyperMemory
1GB 533mhz RAM
80 GB HD
Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 48x CD-RW Drive
17 inch Ultrasharp flat panel monitor.
Free Shipping

All for $979

What do you guys think? Is it a good deal? Also, I wanted to know if the graphics card is good, or should I upgrade to the 256MB nVidia GeForce 6800 (for an extra $150)? Thx for any posts!

Thats a pretty good deal on that computer but that graphics card is not better than the geforce 6800. Its really up to you and depends on what games you play.
