like 2300 after stack cashback. This seems fairly good no?

I'd jump on this if I didn't build a ML PC with a refurb 3090 during this summer's Prime Day.

My hand-built machine is at parity, if not have slightly better specs in most areas (CL timing, better case, cooler, etc.) and ease of upgradability, but had I chosen a RTX4090, it would've jacked the final price up to beyond $3100. And I thought I got some great sales, such as 2TB SN850X for $120.

For $2,388, it is very tempting. Calc below. YMMV b/c taxes.

2,999.99
- 299.99 10% Dell Coupon (email sign up)
​------------
2,700.00
+ 239.63 Taxes (boooooooo)
​------------
2,939.63
- 405.00 15% CB (calculated using 2,700.00 above)
​------------
2,534.63
- 146.98 5% Chase Freedom PayPal CB (calculated using 2,939.63 above)
​------------
2,387.65

yes but the processor is a risk. Even with intel's latest update. Manufacturing defects can only be band aided so far. But even if the cpu dies for 2,300 that's not bad for everything else included.
At least Intel did give another 2yrs of warranty that ups it to 5 years, so that is a while at least.

Since they are pretty much new CPUs not being pushed outside Alienware installing windows, you can setup windows, and install the latest R16 bios that has the intel microcode update included.

It's 2.12.0 (Rev. 0x12B microcode for the CPU) https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=dwrn8&oscode=w2021&productco... [dell.com]

Original post had the name, but got removed by mod. It starts with r.
I got one of the other R16 models for my bro in early Sept, and the 10% CB at the time was denied by Dell for me. I emailed them, and after 3 weeks of checking into this.. They said I did it wrong. shake head I've been a member there for years, I know how it works. The funny thing is, they gave me CB for a canceled R16 order a month before.

Can this case really provide enough airflow? I feel like this things gotta run at a million degrees
I have this system since june when they posted (almost identical except for RAM and SSD size) and it runs just fine - but we got those down to ~$1800. For a cheap system it's been great and runs everything I've thrown at it. Don't let all the 'omg'er's deter you. It's not something you'll be upgrading for years, but it's a good system for now.

I would be careful combining the 10% promo code and expecting it to work with cb.

Wait you got a 4090 system for 1800?

What is the 15% cash back that you're talking about, if you don't mind sharing?
Cant mention it here because SD gets their own kickback (instead of you) if you click from here instead.

It's tempting, that RAM looks fine as heck being DDR5. I assume many peasants like me do not want to update things manually for the intel cpus, even if it's a simple fix it instills fear in our hearts. As well liquid cooling in a PC has been a dream, but another forum has done a number on that with shade being thrown on how easily the liquid cooling creates issues a bunch more than fans.
But with the new Nvidea chips "around the corner", I might hold back till some deals pop up in Q1 or Q2 or 2025 (fingers crossed they are out then and there are some preorder deals for prebuilts or something).

will there be better deals in the coming months? I don't mind waiting, at least Alienware is now using regular cases vs their tiny ones.

also keep in mind arrow lake and the 5xxx series of Nvida gpu's will be out in a few months, I hope it leads to a price drop for 4 series gpu's and current pc's.

I chatted with customer service who said the coupon code arrives in 4-24 hours. Mine a arrived about 20 minutes after chatting, about 30 minutes after signup.

Yes. It started with a price mistake from Dell so the price started at $2400. Then the 10% off coupon, then cash back, etc.

Thank you!
Between EDU discount, split across two cards got it down to $2,500.
I know the 5090 is around the corner, but I'd wager that's close to how much I'd have to pay for the card alone.
