Dell Quad Core PC Deals from $579 including $749 i5-750, $849 i7-860 & $999 Loaded i7-860 (updated)
October 27 Update: The configurations and prices have been changed around a little. All of the systems now feature Windows 7 and some have seen hardware upgrades (like 4GB RAM instead of 3, and 500GB hard drives instead of 250GB).
Originally Posted October 21: If you've been waiting for the right time to buy a new desktop PC, Dell.ca currently has an impressive selection of Vostro PCs with quad core processors to choose from. The release of Intel's new i5 and i7 processors has shaken things up (in a good way), and Windows 7 is now available as well. It's a good time to be considering a purchase.
At the "low end" of these deals, there is a Vostro 420 Tower with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Q8300. At the other end of the spectrum, $999 will get you a Core i7-860 equipped Vostro 430 PC with 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, and a 1TB Hard drive. Here's a more detailed look at the systems:
- $579 Vostro 420 - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300, 500GB HD, 3GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 3450, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
- $749 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i5-750, 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium w/Media 32 bit
- $849 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i7-860 (manually selected), 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium w/Media 32 bit
- $999 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i7-860, 1TB HD, 8GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The Vostro 420 isn't bad, but if processing power is of the utmost importance to you, then you will definitely want to consider the i7-860 systems.
These systems offer great value in our book. For many mainstream users and certainly for businesses, it would be quite difficult to go the "build-it-yourself" route for comparable systems when you have to factor in manpower, all of the components, operating systems, assembly and testing, as well as shipping (which is free from Dell.ca).

BestBuy.ca: Rock Band 2 (Game Only) for PS3, X360, or Wii $19.99
Forum user Soulsaber has spotted an excellent deal over at BestBuy.ca. Right now, Rock Band 2 (game only, no instruments) can be had for just $19.99 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii! That's a terrific price for this super-popular game. Prior to this, you weren't likely to find a new copy for less than $39.99. All 3 titles currently list as out of stock, but will ship when available.
Again, the main thing to note is that this is the game only. You will need to purchase instruments separately or have some from other games (check instrument compatibility at Rockband.com).
BestBuy.ca offers free shipping on orders over $39, so if you buy 2 copies, you should qualify.

Apple: New iMacs (inc. 27” model with IPS 2560x1440 display for $1799), New Mac mini & More
Yesterday (October 20), Apple took the wraps off new revisions of the iMac, Mac mini, and the MacBook (non-pro).
We'd say the biggest changes come to the iMacs, which now pack 16:9 widescreen LED-backlit IPS panels. In that department, we think the $1799 27" iMac with a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, and Radeon 4670 is is actually a pretty appealing deal. An LED-backlight 27" IPS display with staggering resolution would surely cost a pretty penny, so we consider that a big part of the price tag. The actual computer hardware isn't too shabby either.
Elsewhere, the Mac mini has gotten some hardware upgrades (faster Core 2 Duo processor, more RAM, and bigger hard drives). Apple has also introduced a Mac mini server, which omits the optical drive and instead, allows for a second hard drive. The news on the MacBook front is less exciting -- it gains unibody construction but uses white plastic instead of aluminum like the more expensive MacBook Pros.
