Default I've had great success with the Dell Outlet site.

<a href="http://www.delloutlet.com">http://www.delloutlet.com</a>

They come with full Dell warranties.

If you know the specs you want the prices are great. I picked up a couple of months back a 710m, 2GZ 2GB onboard RAM, fast hard drive, etc. at just over $900. You can buy a lessor system at a much cheaper price.

The inventory moves fast, so if you see something that fits your needs you need to purchase it on the spot, otherwise its gone.
