From: "Antti Kurenniemi" 

When I go to www.Dell.fi (or .com -> redirected to .fi), and choose
desktops, I get the "starting from 369 EUR" flashy labels. Then
when I click on the cheapest model to configure it, the starting price is
at 799 or so. Plus their shipping prices have gone through the roof - I
bought a small server a few months back, and the shipping was 105 EUR! Sure
seems like a trick to pull down the price of the machines...
