A little known fact about about Dell is that they have an Outlet Site that sells contract computers (all flavors) at cost when the corporate or government bean counter cancels a contract. In a contract scenario, spec computers are built to a bean counter's specification and held on contract prices in inventory and when this contract runs out or canceled dell is still holding spec computers in stock, therefore blow-out time. The also resell returned, discontinued and "scratch & dents" systems on this site, too.
