Do a build yourself, cheaper and the satisfaction is well worth the effort, feel good factor.

Does Dell need you to verify who you are for the discount?

Don't know someone passed me the link earlier today as I am looking for a new PC and cannot be bothered with home builds anymore. :D This is still a good way to make a PC to your "own" standards/specification :D

In my opinion Dell are doing a lot of consumers a dis service,They throw all these offers around to attract your attention then either as mention charge £50 quid for delivery and give you a free printer sized paper weight,or imo send you an inadequate pc that you will have trouble upgrading (Dells own cpu cooler and Dells own motherboard that fits nowhere else) If all you want is an office machine with an over powered cpu the Dell offer is good.Imo if you want a decent alround pc look at mesh or evesham and try to buy an Amd64

To be honest, I think the thing that usually sells Dell for businesses is the next day on site warranty/support - Dell machines are average solid machines, but their aftercare is very good

Delivery is free right now. No free printers.

still does not change my opinion,all these cheap pcs a lot of companies not just Dell are selling are doing the whole PC industy an injury.People who know nothing see Dell on tv and think wow a pc for £379 with a tft thats wicked,till they get it home and chuck a game at it,you can almost hear Dell cackling " It wont play doom 3 heheheheh" People are always misinformed or just plain not told stuff to sell them something.I think its wrong it gives the industry a bad name

People come to me and say can you build me a machine like that.I always ask what do you need it for,if the cap fits then ill build it if not ill tell them,if they walk they walk at least they will not go to there m8s "he sold me a piece of sh*t"

A DELL is an appliance, not a PC - usually miserably poor upgradabliity ... some other OEMs are almost as bad, but Dell is the worst for really OEM-crippled components.
