Dell.com - XPS 8500 Ivy i7-3770 PC with 24" Ultrasharp & $150 Gift Card for $900, maybe
(expired)

Today, a Dell XPS 8500 PC is available for $1000 and includes a free $150 Gift Card if purchased today. This PC comes with a brand new 3rd generation Core i7 Processor (nicknamed Ivy) and a 24-inch Ultrasharp Monitor. Also includes 8GB of memory, 1TB hard drive, Bluetooth, Wifi, Windows 7, CD/DVD Reader/Writer Drive, and a 1 year warranty.

Dell has another promotion where you can get a free $50 gift card when buying a $300 gift card. You can try to order two or three of these, then applying them all to this XPS 8500 PC. There is a risk, however, because as that page says, "delivery may take up to 24 hours." You should receive your gift cards via email within a couple hours, but since this XPS 8500 deal expires tonight, so you may be out of luck if your gift cards do not arrive by today.

Next step would be to call Dell and order this computer over the phone. Their website will only accept two forms of payment (one gift card and one credit card in a single order), so if you want to apply multiple gift cards, you have to phone it in.

Beware Dell's phone order may only accept two of the $300 gift cards and two of the free $50 cards that come with them (totaling $700 in gift cards), plus your credit card to cover the rest. You can try three $300 gift cards with three $50 cards, but it may not work and you may be stuck with a $350 gift card that you cannot use with this order.

After purchasing this computer, you will also get a free $150 gift card to use at a later date on Dell.com.

After everything, say you were able to apply two $300 gift cards with two $50 cards, you would end up paying $900 for this computer and get a free $150 gift card for later use.

If you were to build a computer from parts with similar specs, you would probably spend more than $1000. The CPU alone goes for $320, the monitor for $310, 1TB hard drive around $70, Windows 7 for $100, motherboard around $100, case with power supply around $100. Right there it adds up to costing $1000 to build this computer yourself.

The i7-3770 CPU is the first consumer CPU that to exceed a benchmark score of 10,000, which is about 15% faster than an i7-2600. Even though the release of this new i7-3770 CPU should help push the price of the i7-2600 down a little bit, it should still be hard to find a complete PC system for $900 with a i7-2600 or i7-3770 over the next two months. So this Dell XPS 8500 is a great deal, but a little risky since the gift cards need to arrive today to get this deal.
