As much as i would like to have a Mac, I bit the bullet the other day and got a new PC from the Dell Outlet. Even refurbished, a new Mac would be over $1000. I got a Dual Core Pentium Vostro w/ Vista, a wireless card and a DVD writer for $219 , under $275 with s/h + tax.

Nothing special, but so cheap and it will smoke the old Dell it is replacing. I’ve bought from the Dell Outlet for both home and work in the past and have never regretted it.

Looking forward to seeing the pricing on new Macbooks and iPods (and iPod Touches, hopefully?) next month. If they had a fresher MacMini, I might have paid up for that, but I couldn’t wait.
