Dimension 4700

are you sure it is the 4700 and not the 3000

because the the 4700 starts at $1099

otherwise seems pretty good

Good Deal!

Comes with a monitor. Plus a vid card can be added to the 4700. PLus a DVDrw..hmmm.....sounds like a 3000 to me too.

U have a linky?

That's a good deal. And the system has to be the Dimension 4700 because of the Integated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900. The Dimension 3000 uses the older graphics processor.
