is monitor inferior?

they do not mention video card in the laptop or desktop. i assume its probably not that good?

I think dell + shopping channel != deal

[dreaderus]

i dont get it though the video card in it is trash, why can't they offer an upgrade on that.

Actually, on the TSC site they tell you it is a Radeon X1300 Pro. This is warmish at best,as you can get it straight from Dell, in the same config, for $1287... And Dell likely won't take 20 business days for delivery either...

The X1300 is a relatively old card as well. You would likely be better off going directly to Dell and configuring the system yourself... You can likely get a better video card for the price Dell charges for the X1300.

Just my 2 cents.

so you would get all the extra stuff to? the printer, speakers etc for the same price?

[ibear]

not so bad.

You could probably get a much better deal if you called up dell and haggled. This doesn't look hot at all to me. A decent desktop can be made bought for 600-800$ easily, and that screen is worth 300.

This deal is quite cold. The CPU is lower end, the monitor can be had for $299, 2GB RAM costs peanuts now... You could get a better deal checking up weekly on dell.ca (or better yet, the RFD forums ).

I've always said you are better off going for a Dell with integrated video and buying an aftermarket video card afterwards. The video updgrades they offer are crummy and overpriced.

Terrible price. All those components, including the monitor, can be bought for around $900.

brrrrrr, I thought winter's over...

[bokep]

Worst SC Dell deal I have ever seen....there is no savings here at all and they are trying to get rid of their AMD stock which does not sell.

Shopping Channel + Ripoff.
