    personally i think it is good value, i have a dell machine, not ashamed to admit it. i have modded the case and upgraded the graphics card,ram and processor. it works a dream for me. but if i was in the market for a new machine, i would be buying a dell of that spec.

    With some of the offers on the outlet it would be easy to make a few bucks by selling the parts individually.

    For example I picked up a dimension 5000 with 250gb SATA HDD, PCI-E 256mb 6800 gfx, 1gb of ram, P4.2.8 cpu, 16xDVD+/- drive for €320 all in (incl delivery). The pricing is a bit mad, I mean I was searching on komplett and the closest equivalent gfx card (msi 6800 256mb) was €305 on it's own.

    That's astonishing :eek:

    Looks like you got yourself the deal of the year mate. We should start a thread in the bargain forums like "The very best deal on Dell's outlet" where people will post deals they actually bought, or just links to currently available deals

    Go for it, savemejebus, start that thread!

    Thats a cool idea but would it work? As far as i can see the really good deals are usually snapped up really fast so the thread might end up being a place to go to see the deals you've just missed :o
