I did sign up for the 10% coupon, and got it today. It's good until Feb 24, 2025. I checked my AmEx CC and indeed there is $100 cash back (100 back on 500). Also checked my Bank of America 1,2,3 card and my Chase Amazon card and both have $100 cash back (5% up to 100), so these are ways to get the same 100 off. This is about a 3% discount. I checked out the well-known cash back site that had the 15% cash back deal on the 13th, and it looks like it has 5% cash back right now. I'm not sure how exactly the stacking works but maybe this works out to be $135 off?
So, altogether it'd be 3000 - 300 - 100 - 135 = $2465. Plus tax would be maybe $2700.
They're saying if I sign up for Dell rewards they'll give me $15 and there's a 6% rewards promotion going on. So, that's about 137.70 +15 = $152.70 ? This can be used at the Dell store. I think Dell Rewards points expire on the 15th on the 4th month that it was earned, so March 15th, 2025? Not sure what you'd use this for. Maybe discount on a monitor? SSD's on Dell looks way overpriced.
I chatted with a Dell rep and you can return the machine for free within "30 days of the invoice date."

With this one, I'm a little concerned that it has 240mm AIO liquid cooling for CPU instead of 360mm. I'm sensitive to noise. Most of the reviews state that it's quiet, but 4090 and 14900KF will be generating more heat than most other models reviewed. There are a couple of reviews that say it's not the quietest on full load.
As far as future upgrades are concerned, it uses Dell's proprietary motherboard and I'm not sure if that means it cannot be switched out. The MB only has 2 RAM slots, but apparently it's difficult to make RAM run at higher speeds if you use 4 slots. We'd be restricted to upgrading to 48 x 2 = 96 GB or RAM. Assuming we can't upgrade the MB, that'd mean we can't upgrade to next gen Intel CPU. Not sure if we'll be able to upgrade the GPU to the Blackwells (5000 series?) set to be released early next year.
With regards to spending more on better rig. There's a similar spec computer deal going on at Costco for $2300 that has 4080 Super + 14900F. I think the graphics card alone, 4090 goes for about $1000 more vs 4080 S, but you'd be getting it for about $400 more, plus slightly better CPU. Both computers have 2.5Gb ethernet port. The Costco computer has WiFi 7. This computer has WiFi 6e. Costco has 2 year warranty, 90 day return. I think this one has 1 year warranty?
I chatted with a Dell sales advisor about the return policy of this machine and he said, "We have 30 days return policy from invoice date, Return shipping free of cost no restocking fee if the product and packaging are in good condition"
So, if we see something better on BF we can return it, which I admit is a bit of a pain.
