Hi peeps,

May be of interest to some people, rather good offer from Dell for £244 ex vAT and delivery (£49 for everything). I think they screwed up a little, because you can knock the service down to 90 day CAR and get a good machine for a goodish price, esp if your a business (no vat for you )

If it tells you your config choice is invalid, ignore it

Select the 3100 not the 3100c, and add the pentium4 option for £15 !!!!!

knock down support to CAR

Now if you want, also increase the 15" tft to a 19tft for only £40
