You can find the deals on Fat Wallet.

This is now expired, however here are the details... 

evalue-code: 19604-s20103n. 

Choose 128MB memory, free Palm Zire, 100 MIR, keyboard, mouse. Everything
else stays the same --> add to cart: your price: $548 - $220 discount - $100
Mail in Rebate = $228. You also get a Palm Zire that I sold on Ebay for $75
- so it really only cost me a little more than $150.

Normally this machine is around $299 plus around $30 in taxes (All Dell
Small Business orders are taxed).

I would not be surprised if this same exact machine appears again next week
in the $250-$299 range plus the free Zire.

	Don't know what Dell site you use, but I've been watching these
servers for a long time and have _never_ seen pricing like that.  The config
you mention above (actually with a 2.4 P4) is $348, and that's aboot as
cheap as I've ever seen.  The 2GHz Smelleron is at aboot $250 tho.  They're
currently doing 256MB of ram at the 128 price.  Still, it's arguable that at
that price it's a great deal....
