Generally, the longer you wait the cheaper it will be. If you're not in a hurry, you might want to just keep an eye on the website as Dell changes their specials weekly (on Wednesdays, I think). You can hold out for a better deal & maybe even a 10% off coupon.

Another option is to have a look at the refurbished machines - http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=22&l=en&s=dfh

Sometimes you can get a great deal on a refurb, sometimes the price for a new machine is the same or even less, so a big YMMV.
