Dell Outlet - Better than new?

Now, I normally don’t just recommend a company as a whole, but this scratch & dent division is definitely something worth taking a look at.  That’s right, Dell the #1 site to home computer retailer has an outlet site.  As a matter of fact, I just purchased a home office computer there with a bunch of different upgrades (RAM, video card, dual drives, etc.) for less than $550 delivered.  This is quite an experience that is not to be missed for those in the market for a “new” computer system.

A simple look at the inventory categories tells you all you need to know.  There are “scratch and dent”, “previously ordered new”, and “refurbished” systems to choose from.  FYI, my latest system was a “scratch and dent” and there was not a mark on it.  The only thing that I could see wrong with it was that the Windows Vista sticker on top of the case was applied wrong and had a big bubble in it.  Talk about a bargain.  If I were to buy a similarly configured system though Dell, it would cost me about $950 delivered.  That’s a savings of $400!

 All of the systems come with at least a one year warranty (same as new).  Worried about getting someones “mouse germs” from one of the refurbished systems?  Well, Dell realizes your germophobia and includes all new keyboards and mice in its outlet shipments.  I really don’t think you can go wrong here and I hope you are enjoying your new Dell Outlet system soon.
