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. That ties last week's mention of a refurbished unit as the lowest total price we've seen for any Dell XPS with 16GB RAM and a 2TB hard drive. (It's a current price low for a refurb by $200.) It features an Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz Ivy Bridge quad-core processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB 7200 rpm hard drive, NVIDIA Geforce GT620 1GB graphics card, DVD burner, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet, media card reader, keyboard, mouse, and Windows 8 64-bit. Deal ends June 16 at 7 pm ET.

Note: A 90-day warranty applies, although it's unclear who supports it.
