Crazy good deal from Dell (monitor for ~$110/cheap Steambox for $400)

So Dell is offering 2 different sales.

 

one on the S2340L monitor for $170 with a $100 Dell gift card

 

and the other is a lower tier Steambox, the Alienware Alpha, for $500 and a $50 gift card.

 

so in theory you could buy the monitor and get a $100 gift card good for the Alpha and maybe you can convince a Dell rep to give you both discounts at once. 

 

worth a shot to save another $50

 

Goodluck

 

$520 for a decent rig and a great screen? not too bad

I challenge someone to make a better PC + 23" 1080p IPS display for $520 (excluding the monitor listed above)

This seems like a really good deal.

well sure 60$ on top of that for the controller plus SteamOS would do fine.

I like how in every thread there is the idiot that thinks they can build a better pc yet they don't include a controller or an OS and then see no problem with how big the system is compared to the alpha.

He was challenged to build a pc for similar price. No need to start an argument.

Aren't steambox's supposed to have "steamOS"? :wacko:

Yes, but Valve time.

It is expected to be released 2015, but for the time being they come dual-booted with Windows as well.
