I got a better deal through the AAFES portal on my system than what you can get from the DELL EPP portal accessed from the link above. Going through AFES saved me about $200 from the EPP price ($250 less the $50 for the difference in RAM discussed below.).
The default system from AAFES comes with a monitor and anti-virus, but you can customize it via the same system builder... just a few less options. (No option for the standard i7 920, for instance)
Oh.. and no tax.

DELL EPP Price as listed: $1844. AAFES Price: $1594, the only difference being the 6GB RAM I chose from AAFES was 1067, the 6GB in the EPP price is 1333Mhz..
hey thanks, i actually went with the EPP and a $50 coupon and it came out alittle cheaper for me since i didnt want the i7 960(went with the i7 930) but thanks, its a great site, ill use it in the future.
