Ok, once again: Go to http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&oc=PE7250PAD&s=biz It will show price $17,767. Click "Quad Intel® Itanium® 2 Processor, 1.5GHz, 4MB Cache [add $6,000]". Click "Update Price". Cost will become $23,767. Now click "Continue". In "Hardware Support Services" choose "3Yr BRONZE Support, Next Business Day Onsite [subtract $4,999]". Click "Update Price". Cost will become $18,768. Click "Continue". Don't choose any options. Just click "Add To Cart".
