Need Full computer deal...

[bissond]

I need the cheapest full computer deal. (NEED best deal on 15" or 17" LCD monitor to go with it.)

I figure Dell will probably be best, but I want to make sure I get all the coupons out there used with my purchase. I have a SB 15% coupon.

I do not need a gaming rig, but a 2.0 Ghz Celeron is about the lowest I think I want for the processor. (P4 is preferred, but I am looking to save some money for a friend). 128 MB Ram minimum, 20 GB hd, Decend video card (He might want to watch DVD's or something.)

I guess what I'm torn between is like $600 for one of the really good deals from Dell that have been up recently for a Quality system, or if there are things out there dramatically cheaper, like $300 that is fast, but just cuts some corners... or even better, a computer that is still a quality rig for less that the Dell deals.

If I buy a Dell system should I get their LCD with it, or can I do better buying the LCD monitor seperately.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

PS. I love this site, forum, and group of people. I've bought way too much stuff but it has always been FANTASTIC deals. =)

$600 for the computer and the monitor? Or just the computer and you'll buy the monitor separately? The dell deals are definitely the best right now, especially the one with the 15" monitor included. Also if you don't mind doing some shuffling, you can always get the computer with the free camera or printer and then eBay it. The camera will probably go for more btw.
