As you may have read in my old post, I am getting a new computer after an old Dell crashed. Do you have any deals on Dell computers? (My mother won't buy anything, but Dell because of customer service.) I would like one with an upgraded graphics card, mid grade for gaming. It would be used for everyday web browsing and about 18 hours of gaming a week. Any suggestions will help. Oh and a desktop please. It would run ALL the time. XP would be nice.

dealcatcher.com usually has unadvertised specials and coupon codes for buying Dell's cheap. I have had luck there.

DELL Outlet is an arm of DELL that handles systems constructed but never sold on.

Orders that were cancelled, delivered DELLs that were not what the customer thought they were, and were subsequently returned to the factory. They still have the standard DELL guarantee and Service Agreements.

They just DO NOT have the same high-end prices.

Some folk call them 'Open Box Sales'

The best way to use this side of DELL is to spend the same amount of money as you intended to but end up with a much higher-spec machine to boot (pun intended!!). :)

This is the American Outlet link:

A friend of mine used the Dell Outlet and was able to get more for his money. Seems like a good idea.

Most of the time they are brand new computers and not referbs. The Dell order/build process allows you to cancel or change an order and at a certain point, the original computer is already being built, so continues to be built and is shipped to the outlet.
