Update: The price for this system before tax and shipping has gone down from $499 to $429! You can call Dell for a price adjustment if you bought it previously.
Shipping adds $8 making the total $437. Be sure to add some upgrades that combined with tax and shipping will bump you over $500 which will trigger a $50 refund on your AMEX statement long as you register your card for the Dell promo!
If you are in a tax-free state (lucky you!) just add $63 in upgrades to get to the $500 threshold!

Does this system price come with an included network card to connect my computer to my router via an ethernet cable?
i have not shopped for a pc in a while. Is this a really good deal or could I do better for $500?
>jo: all standard systems come with an ethernet card which allow you to do what you need.
They separated my order into two different charges, so neither is $500. How do i fix this?
@SG:
You should be able to call AMEX and tell them what happened. Your original receipt should show a charge over $500, so you can always send that to AMEX if there’s a problem.
Let us know what they say!
Hey, called Dell for a price adjustment and they said that 1. they dont see that the price went down (now its $499) 2. in order to get this promotion you cant buy it with a Credit Card but using their financing, because I used my amex it broke it into 2 orders it gave the base price for the Vostro and CHARGED for the screen.
Anyway just figured I’ld share.
@TB:
They lied.
The total price is $469 and you can use a credit card.
If they separated my computer and monitor into 2 different charges, can I return the monitor and get back what they charged for the monitor?
@Dan:
Probably.
If I buy 3 computers with my amex can I get three 50.00 credits?
The price of $429 is for the E5500 processor. The $499 was an E7500.
is this a really good deal. i dont really need a computer now but if i get a great deal id get one.
also, which upgrades are really recommended?
thanks guys,
Just got off the phone with Amex and Dell. Dell had separated my charge into 2. Amex wont give the $50 credit, because it needs to be one charge for $500. I tried reasoning with them and got nowhere. Called Dell to change the charge to 1 charge. They also did not budge. Got out of it a $50 coupon though. In addition Dell told me that I can return the monitor for $200 credit. That may be the way to go.
Where did u find the coupon?
Is this a really good deal?
Sg r u happy with ur purchase so far?
Just ordered 3 computers tx Dan
