Our Daily Deal: Dell Desktop and 23" Monitor for $386

by Terrence O'Brien on August 18, 2009 at 04:01 PM


The folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best deals they find on gadgets every day, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer. So take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.

Of all the gadgets you could get, the most essential is a computer. Without a PC, there is no e-mail, no putting music on your iPod, and no losing track of time in Wikipedia. Thankfully, if you're currently computer-less, or perhaps just several years past due for an upgrade, you can get a perfectly serviceable desktop and a large, wide-screen monitor for under $400. Using the coupon code, WKF35JP9FR9BLQ, you can get a Vostro 220 from Dell's Small Business site for just $386.10, plus $35 shipping.


This no-frills business desktop packs a dual core Pentium E5300 processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, a 160 gigabyte hard drive, a DVD drive, and includes a 23-inch monitor from Samsung. At this price, it's even worth considering upgrades, like to Vista Home Premium (instead of Basic) for $29 (which also gets you a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it's released), or to a DVD burner from a simple reader for $35.

One thing to note: Don't add a monitor when configuring the PC. It will show up automatically in your cart.
