Page 1 of Very Very Very cheap dell

I know some of you are looking for a pc at the moment so this is a P4 from Dell for under £300 (excl VAT)

That was a bloody good spot old bean!!!


There goes another £800 on plastic ;-)

Errr..................I know I may be missing something, but why £800?? Also, it states chassis only, but shows a picture of a monitor, which i`m pretty sure you don`t get with it!

Looking at the spec - it comes with a 17" CRT and a CDRW drive. Not bad at all!
Only 128Mb RAM which could do with an upgrade and 20Gb disk which is the lowest you can get these days (but still more than adequate for web/email/word processing!) XP Pro rather than home too. And 3 year warranty.

Not bad. Shame I hate Dell so much for having appalling customer service... still, at that price it`s still incredibly tempting. ;-)

Oh, hang on... at the top it does say `Medium and large business`. I suspect you`ll not be able to get that price just as an individual home user. Much the same as I get `academic` pricing at work, which often used to work out slightly higher than a random member of the public could buy the same spec machine from the standard public webpage...

If anyone orders one OK, let me know - I might think about getting one for my Dad!

Edit: Ah yes, same model and spec comes to around 750 + VAT academic pricing!

If you look at terms and conditions of sale it does refer to both a private individual and business as to seperate things under description.
So it should cover the one off private buyer.

Look at the link today, they`ve only gone an increased the price overnight. Now £692 Incl. VAT. Merry Xmas love Dell.

I bought more than 1 ;-)

Can you let me know if they let you buy it for that price as I have been refused, they said it was an error on the website.

I just phoned up and the guy was very helpful saying he knew no reason why it had been stopped, so he was trying to remove the flag on the system so they could ship it out to me!!

Also the company I work for has an account manager at Dell, he told me that an email went round at 12noon on Monday saying there was a pricing error yet they weren`t removing the page until 12 midnight. Why the 12 hour wait????

I am expecting an email/phone call from dell this afternoon with the delivery date, will post the results of that call
