Dell Small Business & Home Office offers the Dell OptiPlex 9010 Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 3.3GHz Desktop PC for $696 with free shipping. That's $375 off and the best price we've seen for a Dell OptiPlex 9010 equipped with a Core i5 CPU. (For further comparison, we saw a similarly-configured OptiPlex 9010 with a Core i3 CPU and half the hard drive capacity for $87 less in January.) Features include an Intel Core i5-3550 3.3GHz Ivy Bridge quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, DVD burner, and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Deal ends June 15 at 7 am ET.

For in-store pickup only, Micro Center offers the refurbished HP Pavilion AMD 20-b010 AMD A4 1.4GHz All-in-One 20" Desktop PC, model no. H3Y89AA#ABA, for $299.99. That's tied with our mention from two weeks ago as the best price we've seen for any Pavilion All-in-One PC. (It's also $120 under the lowest price we could find for a new unit elsewhere.) Features include an AMD E1-1200 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 20" 1600x900 LED-Backlit LCD, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, AMD Radeon HD 7310 graphics, DVD burner, 802.11n wireless, webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, and Windows 8.

MOBILESHARK via eBay again offers the refurbished Dell XPS 8500 Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7 3.4GHz Desktop PC for $699.99 with free shipping.
