Came across (and purchased) this after the last lot of weekly deals passed - decent price for a small form factor pc for those with limited space (30cmx30cmx10cm).

I upgraded to the Ultrasharp U2212H 21.5" Monitor for an extra $77.70 :)

Specs:
• 2nd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 Processor (3.10GHz,6MB)
• Intel(R) H61 Express Chipset
• 4GB (1x4GB) Non-ECC DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM Memory
• 500GB 7200 RPM 3.5" SATA Hard Drive
• 1GB AMD RADEON HD 6450
• DELL E2011H 20"W HD Monitor with WLED
• 8X Max Slimline DVD+/-RW
• 3 Yrs Next Business Day Onsite Service

They also have $400 off an Optiplex 990 but it doesn't seem as good a deal seeing as you get the graphics card and monitor thrown in on the 390 for $50 extra. Depends if you care about the Q67 chipset I guess.

  +1

  The 3 Yrs Next Business Day Onsite Service is the big selling point here, you should probably mention it.

    Not sure everyone else' experience, but Dell's NBD onsite service is one important reason i bought Dell laptop and I am pretty happy with it so far. I consider Dell's product is generally good value (esp on sale) when you factor that service in.

      this all sounds good but i found dell techs to be the most incompetant out of enterprise level companies like HP and Lenovo

      you're also more likely to need a dell tech out of those three as well…

        Try Acer, the tards I was sent in 2005 is the same reason I haven't dealt with them since.

    I was thinking about that while I was writing up the deal, but then I promptly forgot it - added it now!

  Good deal including the warranty and monitor, will need to upgrade the video card to play the latest games on a high quality setting.

  Great for anyone that doesn't know much about PC's.

  Pay no attention to the inflated 'normal ' price. The 'discounted' price is about the normal price for similar specs PCs. The included graphics card is low-end; there's only 4Gb of RAM, no blu-ray writer or SSD but comes with OS, monitor and 3yrs NBD warranty .

    Yeah, you can get something similar built at MSY for ~$700-$800. It's nothing special. The only selling point is the 3 year NBD, IMO, and even then you're paying $150-$250 for that. Making it a sort of normal price. Which is why I haven't positived.

      Yes, but try getting it in a 30x30x10cm package for that price.

      And try getting any sort of warranty support with MSY too!

        You could happily fit an Antec NSK1480 or Minuet 350 into that price.

        I did mention the warranty. Didn't I? A couple of times I think. But thanks for the reminder?

  Overall pretty decent build :) + to 3 years

  If you don't mind one year warranty then you can save more by purchasing from the Dell Factory Outlet.

    yeah i wouldn't bother with extended warranty on a plain desktop… if something goes bang you can get parts from msy or whatever

    for a laptop its a different story

    for a performance desktop its worth considering since they might have $500 video cards in it… but this isn't a performance machine so…
