You'll also get different prices on the same machine depending on
whether you are shopping through the "home" link or the "small business"
link.  Small business is almost always cheaper.

Dell will sometimes also offer you 3 preconfigured machines of the same
model to start from.  You'll most likely get a different price on all
three once you configure them the same way.
