Dell Home Systems has the Dimension 8400 P4 with HT (3GHz, 800 FSB), 512MB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz, 17 in E172FP Flat Panel Display, 128MB PCI Express x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X300 SE, 80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive, Integrated Gigabit Ethernet, 48X CD-ROM Drive, Integrated Audio with Dolby Digital 5.1 for $784.15 after 15% coupon + $150 rebate and Free Shipping

I think you also get the printer! can anyone tell me is it a good deal or should I wait for other better deal??

This is one of the best Dell deals I've seen in a while, as most of the Dell deals you see now are for really low end systems, and this is one that's for a pretty high end system. Also, you get the 17" flat panel. Looks like a good buy to me, you just might want to add on another hard drive or a DVD-RW drive in the future to make it really sweet.

That is a nice computer at a nice price. If you need a new computer jump all over it!

80gb isn't horrible, depending on what you are going to do with it. I have 380gb worth of hard drive space on mine, but I also have a ****load of movies and mp3's on it!

Overall not bad though, 800mhz fsb is great, and 512 ram isn't bad, but getting another 512 chip to give you a gb of ram is recommended at some point. A lot of the newer high end programs use up an abundance of the 512mb quickly. And the 17' Flat panel monitor, well thats just an added bonus, considering those go for almost $400 by themselves!

Good find!
