If you buy from the Dell outlet store you can pretty much match the newegg price, within $5. I had never considered the outlet store before, but used it a couple of times recently with great success.

I've been doing the same recently, it's really a great way to go. Ironically, it's an even better for businesses, as XP Pro/Vista Business don't incur the $100 markup.

My latest find was an Optiplex 760 minitower with a 3Ghz C2D for $320 out the door. Small HD/Memory, but those weren't a priority for this one. Optiplexes have much better cases than inspirons and come with a 3 year warranty. I'm adding in a Intel NIC and using it as a home ESXi server.
