ET deals: 39% off Core i7 PC bundle with 3-year warranty.

Custom-built PCs offer a lot of positives to those willing to undertake the task, but we also lose the guaranteed compatibility of a pre-built system and its all-important warranty coverage. Business-class PCs go a step above the consumer-grade models with longer standard warranties and guaranteed parts availability for longer periods of time.

Understandably, business-class PCs aren’t something we come across a lot when hunting for deals. One of the few systems that come onto our radar with any regularity are the Optiplex desktops from Dell, designed with longevity and ease of service in mind for the enterprise customer. Today’s deal will let you snag a very well-equipped quad-core model with a premium monitor and warranty.

This Optiplex 7010 comes very well equipped with a quad-core third-gen Core i7 processor. While this may not be the latest and greatest Haswell chip, the minor performance increases offered on the desktop parts are nothing to lose sleep over. You also get a 1GB Radeon HD 7470 graphics card, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. It even eschews the near-pointless Windows 8 you tend to find on consumer models for Windows 7 Professional.

The monitor included in this bundle deal is an UltraSharp U2412M, a 24-inch 1080p model that serves up images on a gorgeous IPS LCD panel. You get three years of warranty coverage on this bundle, which includes next-business-day on-site support. This bundle runs a little more than your standard Core i7 PC and monitor bundle, but you definitely get a lot in return.

Normally a package like this runs $1,500 or more, but we’ve got a hefty combination of instant savings and a stackable coupon that bring the price down to $1,019.99 with free shipping. We’ve not seen many bundles that include this level of components and service, so head over to Dell to check this out today.
