    I think it's 10% off at the moment if you spend over €999.

    Would you ever consider building your own or even choosing your own components and having it assembled for a €50 charge or so from such sites as hardwareversand.de you'd get much better value this way. If you need help, the guys on the PC section of boards would be more than happy to help.

    I could build my own but having looked in to it, i reckon there's little difference in price (not enough to make huge savings)... components for the particular model i'm looking at, if bought separately would come in about about €750-800... the XPS is costing €939 so for convenience it makes more sense, but a 10% discount would make it a no brainer hence the reason i ask :)

    Ok, fair enough but you should be aware that it's pretty restrictive compared to building your own or even choosing a different make. It only has a 460watt PSU and can't be upgraded apparently.

    What are you going to be using the PC for if you don't mind me asking?

    Everything apart from gaming. Heavy photoshop & illustrator work primarily along with some video editing...

    If you can find a similar spec system off the shelf for the same price, i'm all ears :)
