Got a fantastic package deal – it’s worth haggling a little at Best Buy! W00T!

Dell Inspiron i530-111B

• Intel Core2 Q9300 Quad-Core Processor (6MB L2 cache, 2.5GHz, 1333 FSB)
• 6GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM Memory at 667MHz – 4 DIMMS (2x2GB, 2x1GB)
• 750GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
• DVD+/-RW (Plays and writes CDs and DVDs)
• 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
• Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio/Dell Speakers
• 19-in-1 Media Card Reader
• USB Keyboard and Mouse

Samsung 22″ Wide-Screen Monitor

This was thrown in so they could call it a package deal:

Canon PIXMA MP470 All-in-One Printer, 22 PPM, 4800×1200 DPI, Color

And I got an HP webcam too.

It just barely topped the limit required to get 2-year no interest financing. I’ll pay it off in 6 months or so.

Of course, I was home with everything opened before I remembered that I could have saved a bit of money if I had been able to wait until the tax holiday at the end of the month…. nah!

The system comes with Vista Home Premium installed, and so far it’s fine. I bought WinXP Professional a few days ago, but I may stay with Vista for while and see how it goes.
