Well, let's see here, Dell.ca offers me this for $999:
Genuine Windows Vista� Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit
Intel� Core�i7-920 Processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
1 Yr Limited Warranty with 1 Yr NBD Onsite Service and 1 Yr Tech Support
3GB DDR3 Tri-Channel SDRAM at 1066MHz - 3 DIMMs
500GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB
Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Dell wants $150 for the video card upgrade to an ATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB. The cheapest 4670 card, a Sapphire, is $109 locally here. Things get more expensive if you go for a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB...Dell wants $350 for that, when locally I can get one for $199. So that's quite the overcharge indeed!
I might as well do the work and see what the prices from my local store would come out to be...watch the front page.
