Dell Optiplex 745C with 512MB DDR2, 80GB Hard Drive, DVDROM, Windows XP Home and More for Only $199!

This is one of those "don't wait, buy now" type of deals. This is Dell's business class Optiplex minitower desktop computer that comes with a 1.6GHz Intel Celeron processor and everything else you see above. This is thanks to a whopping $499 instant discount that knocks it down to this price. You actually DON'T get free shipping because it's under the $399 minimum, but you figure it'll be $30 or so,... or you can simply upgrade to the $399 to get it shipped for free. What I'm hearing is that an upgrade to 2GB of memory is only $65 so the rest of what you'll be able to will be a LOT. Again, this is their business class computer folks,... and not even the 3xx series, but the 7xx series at that! The deal goes live at 6:00 AM CT and is set to expire tomorrow but do NOT expect it to last. DELL OPTIPLEX 745C MINITOWER COMPUTER FOR $199 DEAL

Update: They ran out of stock, so
this deal ended early. Congrats to everyone who got one!

I got one Friday Morning about 3 AM. Upgraded to DVD/RW and 160GB Harddrive. If the motherboard will let you, that Celeron 420 CPU is very overclockable (see tomshardware.com and other popular sites).

I believe the MoBo has 4 slots of DDR2

No option for memory card reader

But I got Vista basic

Total price with FREE SHIPPING and upgrades & tax $222.33
