Dell small business 6 months ago I bought several dell 8300s p4 2.8s 800mhz fsb with 400mhz ram for $550 each. Also bought a few 18.1" dell flat panel lcds for $385 each shipped. Its all a matter of waiting for the right sale and stacking a coupon on top of the sale.

the starting price for it was $809...

the monitor was an extra $549

+some extra $ for wireless kyboard/mouse, dvd plyr, burner, ect.

that total price includes shipping and tax.

I thought its a pretty sweet deal with that monitor.

You could very likely build the machine for quite a bit less. It's not as cut and dry as some others are saying it is -- at the low end, it's very hard to compete with companies like dell, since they have volume on their side. But the high end is where they make a bunch on margin, and generally you can build a high end machine yourself for much cheaper.

here is what I would do with that $1,597.00 ....

motherboard = Abit IC7-G ~$135

cpu = P4 2.8C Northwood Socket 478 800FSB ~$175

ram = 1GB Corsair XMS 3200LL (2x 512MB sticks) ~$335

videocard = Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT 'Ultimate Edition' ~$174
(Ultimate Ed has a heatsink instead of a noisey fan)
*also comes with a free Half Life 2 coupon.

harddrives = Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive (~$205 each x2 of them) = ~$410
(You want to put your OS and aps on one drive, and swapfile and data files on the other)

Samsung Black 52X32X52X16 DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive ~$50

SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5inch Floppy Disk Drive ~$10

case = Antec 'Sonata' Quiet ATX case with TruePower supply ~$95

total parts cost = ~$1380

+$140 for WinXP licence = ~$1520

I know that doesn't include a flashy new monitor - but I'd rather have a better PC.

Stick with this exact parts list, and you will have a machine that rivals much more expensive systems, and you should also get a very easy safe stable overclock to 3.5Ghz.

a buddy of mine works for dell, he says if you call up their cs and say you're not sastified and you're going to return it they will immediately refund half your money. might be worth a try.

Bought a Dell for a GF, was $650 with better specs but without the flatpanel. You should consider to cancel the order and have a look at the Dell site again. Use a promo them modify it for your needs. BTW, you don't wan's an intgerated video card.

This is a system I bought from them a few months ago:

http://www.wpa.net/~gess/dell.html

It's not bad for what I paid, about the same as you, and it seems to outperform yours.

Like they said, I'd go back, cancel, and try again if I were you. It's all about timing.

I also prefer CRT to LCD, so that might be a factor in your pricing. I upgraded to a 19" CRT. But I also have a video card that allows me to have multiple monitors, and that is worth it in and of itself.

Also, it's completley nutty that I had to pay $20 to have a 3.5" drive.

sounds like a pretty solid machine..
but yea, I agree about the 800 mhz bus.. you might not notice it now, but I think the bus speed is probably one of the things you will notice the most when your pc starts to get outdated.. I know it is with me and my 100 mhz bus

if you have a really smart friend who can build computers I would recommend buying the parts and getting him/her to come over and show you how to do it. You litterally cut your costs in half almost if you know a good wholesaler to get the parts from
