I bet you if you call a salesman at Dell, they will match the deal. Often times the edu pricing is more than the general public pricing on the website. I call and complain and they match the pricing. I think Dell has such a wide array of options that the website often does not reflect reality. If you want the name of a salesman whose chain you can yank, give me a shout. Shannon
