Brian,

Checking your example out does not yield what you have reported.
The CPQ and DELL online stores were used to arrive at a legitimate comparison.

I priced the systems without a monitor to keep the matter simple.
DELL no longer list a 6.4 GB drive as an option on an XPS.
DELL's lowest priced speaker is the ACS-90 which is better than CPQ
Monitor mounted speakers.

300 MHz PII 300 MHz PII
64 MB RAM 64 MB Ram
8.0 GB Drive 8.1 GB Drive

$1738 plus tax and gasoline $1696 plus tax/shipping

CPQ is not offering a Cheap color printer or a Cheap hand-held scanner on its website.
But then I suppose a retailer can give away his entire stock if he wants too. especially if its a going out of business sale.
