i've even heard stories about hardware for below cost. i figure as long
as you tell folks what the deal is, they generally don't mind paying
fair margin.

Everything I have ordered by phone through Dell Small Business has had a
good size discount over what I speced out on the web site. It seems
like the more options you tack on to a machine the more money they tend
to knock off.
In fact, my sales rep told me that you should even call for home
orders. She told me that the home sales people don't have quite as much
price flexibility, but they can definitely beat what you price out on
the web site.
YMMV, of course :).
