Here's yet another good system offer from Dell.ca - an Inspiron 530 Desktop System with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor for $499 after you apply coupon code C85K5P3K569JVS at the checkout. Here is what you're getting:

• Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache, 2.4GHz, 1066FSB)
• Windows XP Home Edition, English
• 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
• 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
• Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio, Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
• 16X DVD+/-RW Drive
• 1 Year Next Business Day Onsite/In Home Service and Tech Support

Currently, there's another Inspiron 530 system offer with a Q6600 processor, 3GB RAM and a 320GB hard drive for $549, which is also hot deal itself. However, we think this offer edges it out by just a little bit. A well equipped sub-$500 dollar quad core system that you can upgrade separately with additional RAM and storage space as you see fit is a fantastic bargain! With a Q6600 processor, 2GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and Windows XP as the operating system, this computer is anything but a slouch, and really impresive for $499 with free shipping.
