Make it an option to not get things people may already have when upgrading a PC such as monitors, mouse, keyboard. This would be good environmentally and save people some money if they already have theae things and will not be keeping the old PC.

DELL/ Status Update

    They should be optional everywhere. It's the only valid option.

    The specific sales configurations always ends up to restrict the choice. In fact, instead of increasing the sales, it's reduce them and generates customers frustration (like the trichotomic barrier).

    We already offer some sales configurations without a monitor. I have not seen one excluding a keyboard and mouse.

    I hate that I cant opt out of getting the standard keyboard/mouse that I am not going to use.

    Thank you! It's especially annoying to have to get a new keyboard and mouse every time I buy a computer--I feel guilty that all that new plastic is being created just so I can chuck the old ones.

    This is very important issue - almost everyone I know now has an lcd monitor and don't need/want another, even if it is larger. The ability to buy a desktop without monitor for $200 less would be very attractive.

    Hi. What is the status of this idea? are we going to have this option(s) soon? At the moment I would buy a Dell desktop - but I do not do it because i don't want an extra monitor. Thanks
