You think this is better than some of the Dell outlet deals? Don't mean to be a smart azz or anything. I have been looking for one but can wait if better deals can be had.

Quote from obman : You think this is better than some of the Dell outlet deals? Don't mean to be a smart azz or anything. I have been looking for one but can wait if better deals can be had.

I am very familiar what could be found in the outlet. (I purchased a $495 i7-3770 config there myself). However, those deals are hard to replicate. But that's besides the point.

I posted this deal for those who need a simple up-in-20 minutes experience. It's not designed to compete with one of a kind outlet deals (which an average person will find very hard to duplicate), used or refurbished PCs (which many people have problem with) or build-your-own system (which, again, not everyone is able to do and which assume zero value for the time, effort, warranty and often even the software).

Factoring in taxes and shipping, you are looking at an OTD total of about $880-$900. Conservatively pricing the monitor at $130-150 and the extra year of warranty at $70, you get the PC for about $680. Good luck finding one like that on the outlet on a typical day.

Not a great deal for those of us that scour the internet, but not a bad deal - it's actually a good deal for the ordinary person who wants everything at once and wants it to work right out of the box. If somebody needs a full system and walks into Costco and walks out with one of these they didn't get ripped off.

If you don't want to spend hours trolling the internet, this is very good. If you have a costco membership, you can just walk into costco, spend 800 plus tax, and drive home with a computer that is very good for the next 2 years and good enough for the next 2 or 3 after that.

If you get a little more sophisticated, you can even upgrade it a little later - this can drive a radeon HD 7850, maybe 7870, and should be able to take another 8 gb of ddr3-1600 (it should be 2 x 4gb with 2 slots free). And of course, a Radeon series might hit the 22nm node 3 years and if so will probably be compatible and use even less power.

Not bad at all. Tx for sharing OP. I would be all over it if it gets lower by say 100 or so...

Good deal OPs. been looking for "ready to use out of the box" rig for friend so I don't have to deal with build, setup, support, etc... I typically build my own rigs but this is very decent deal all things considered at this price, no hassle, and Costco service/return policy. Great deal in my opinion if you're looking for no hassle, nicely configured PC now.

its a great pc. I built my last PC and this is way quieter and put together better. If you love to shop for hours searching for parts and spend many hours putting a pc together, have fun. But if you have better things you could be doing, shell out 5-600 and just buy a new PC.

This is a good deal (but not a super slick steal) for someone needing a high powered desktop. Excellent specs (i7, 8 MB RAM, 2 TB HD) and it has the 460W PS in case you want to upgrade the video card for gaming. I was lucky and picked up a Dell Outlet New computer, but its a PITA to keep searching the website. Plus you get the Costco warranty. Thumbs up. Good find.

For an extra $100, you can get this with 27" Monitor. Link [costco.com]

Good deal. Cheaper than if you tried to buy separately and it saves you about 3 months of constant SD hawking to get the right prices.

27" LCD and it would be perfect for Gaming and HD porn.

I think this is a solid deal considering costco's return policy!
