Dell T3400 Refurbished Inventory

Quote from Gravestone Doji:

Well, I was looking at their base units and seen they dual core and 1GB ram for around $550 and Quad core CPU and 2 GB of RAM for around right around $719. Those seem like excellent prices for a trading rig. Some even had dual video cards.

But here's what amazes me. I found a Dell T3400 in Refurbished Inventory that has the Intel Core2 Extreme QX9650 CPU and 2 GB of ram with a single NVS 290 and XP Pro card for $1069. I thought that was an amazing deal. I know you don't need that much horsepower but you could throw another 2GB or RAM in that (since its currently configured with two 1Gb sticks) and you could run Excel to do some major number crunching while running charts along with IB and it would it wouldn't even blink. The Intel Core2 Extreme QX9650 is the new 45nm Quad that runs at stock speed of 3.00GHz with a FSB @ 1333MHz and a whopping 12MB L2 cache! If you go price just the CPU and it's like the same cost as this Dell. So I figured why not get this Dell with the faster chip for about the same cost as the chip itself!

That's why it pays to watch the site. Sometimes deals like that show up, but you need to act fast when you see one. The really good deals don't last long.
 
Yeah, was me but I'm sure more deals will show up. Just amazing to me that I got a system like this for the cost of the chip itself. Like to see those guys in that DIY Q6600 based custom build thread build a system that beats this for the price.

I know its overkill, but I won't need to be concerned with slow CPU performance, that's for sure!

Dell is often pricey for upgraded models, but not this time.
