Does the Dell mystery coupon work with this??

Quote from rogueone : Does the Dell mystery coupon work with this??

I tried stacking the mystery coupon with it, but it wouldn't allow it. Would have been nice. Anyone else have any luck attempting to stack?

Haven't seen anyone post any desktop deal without monitor for a while. So there is not much higher end Desktop hot deal unless it come with monitor?

This particular Desktop was posted last month without the monitor.
So yeah, we have seen some .. just not that many Desktops .. mostly Laptops

How to get this desktop thru Dell site? I'm trying to use cash rebate from ebate but can't find this system.

Is it a hot deal? I need to see more experts comment.

I would pull the trigger if it wasn't for the weak radeon hd 6450 graphic card... The rest of the system looks great.

And no blu-ray. But is it still a HOT deal?

I was able to use the stackable coupon on this.

Quote from toshd101 : I was able to use the stackable coupon on this.

Which coupon? We were talking about the "mystery coupon" they sent out recently-- I couldn't get that one to stack. Is that the one you were able to use, or something else?

I'd say this is a good deal if you are looking for a good monitor as well.

But definitely NOT a good gaming system unless you plan on upgrading GPU

Not exactly a "HOT" deal. It is a decent deal at best. Knock off another $100 and you might spark my interest. Maybe it is because I am looking to build a gaming system and when I look at the specs, they just aren't what I am looking for.

I own one of these already, bought new late last year during a short price mistake w/out monitor but better graphic card and a blu-ray reader deal. I beleive this deal is slightly over-priced due in large part to the size of the monitor. Please note there are a number of small deals out there for 24/monitors at below or about $250(mentioned in prior SDs). Monitor prices have been falling. I expected the price to fall lower in the last couple of months, with some better deals on this XPS; but, they haven't. I would say hold off, but I honestly do not know what the supply will look like in next two months. And most of the deals via outlet go pretty fast on this machine w/out monitor for about $650 (avg).
