I can not comment on the actual components, only on the price.
The price we got is around 3000 Euros, for the configuration I've sent.
What I understood from our engineers is: web-site listed price is 30-40%
higher then what _anyone_ can get by just calling Dell and talking to
one of their sales people, in that way creating a "relationship" with
them. If you happen to already have prior relationship with them, then
even better deals could be made.
We are trying to make an arrangement with Dell to make the ordering of
the equipment with the agreed specs *easier*. I can not promise that
this is going to happen, but we are trying our best there.
Regards,
Vesna
