The time has come, your trusty workhorse of a PC has reached the end of its life and now you have to scramble to purchase a new system before the old one completely gives up the ghost.  You consider yourself a savvy PC shopper, able to spot the lame ploys salespeople attempt to get you to buy something you don't want or need.  You even comparison shop, going to websites, pulling store flyers out of the newspaper, and scouting out the local shops in person.  Well, here's another tool in your bargain-hunting arsenal:  22 tips on getting the best deal from Dell, as written by a former Dell Sales Manager.

The Consumerist is running the 22-point tip sheet that covers everything from when the best deals are run, how to milk a Dell Kiosk sales rep for as much as you can, and to avoid the Dell Financing Program if at all possible (low limits, astronomical interest rates).  For an added bit of drama, Dell demanded the article be taken down, and when The Consumerist refused and the media caught wind of it, Dell quickly backed off the position.
