Don't buy a pizza w/o a coupon and don't pay regular price at Dell. This is what I was told after buying a relatively expensive Dell laptop at work.Like this? :)
If you're not in a hurry, you could sign up for Dell's mailing list (they mail out offers a lot) or just drop into the website every few days, I suppose - must be some way to track their bargains.

I run WoW on a brand new Dell Inspiron 9300 that I got when the video card on my 8100 died. It's has a 1.8PM chip, 256MB Nvidia 6800 card, and 1GB of RAM (for Ironforge), and a 17" WUXGA screen. I'm basically running WoW at 1920x1200, with all of the video options turned up, and with a great frame rate and very fast load time in IF. But, the options are pretty much the most expensive you can get on the 9300, so waiting for sales or coupons is a good idea. Sadly, Dell Canada doesn't do the 30% coupons the way that Dell US does. Best of luck with your decision!
