Note the Price at the bottom (R0 incl VAT)
I went all the way through the payment process and paid R570 in delivery charges.
I suspect it's a glitch or a really pissed-off Dell employee. My friend Shelly Levin said I should ask Dell if it's stolen goods.
But considering all the interesting ways people advertise these days (see CherryFlava) it might actually be a deliberate underground Dell marketing campaign. This is probably going to be dugg to infinity and beyond and Dell will fix the glitch shortly in any case.
The question remains to be seen if they're going to be real scaly about it and also not deliver the purchased laptops... Good luck to your PR people!

Thanks, just placed my order :)
Got a guy who works here who's mate works at dell, called him and dell guy said they probably won't deliver, but its worth a shot anyway.
Damn dude, looks like they fixed it... Shot for the headsup though.
No they haven't. Just dynamic links. To get the deal, click on this link: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspn_9400?c=za&l=en&s=pad and then click Customize
Not fixed yet, just bought one
i THINK IT HAS BEEN FIXED.... :(
Still looks like it's there, had to get a mate to purchase as Dell not loving a UK card and and SA billing address.
Thank you Henk ... Let's just hope Dell will fulfill the order. I suspect they will make sure they don't dish out too many of the free ones. Shot for that one :)
Kilian from RedButton just sent this updated link that still seems to be working:

I bought one. :-) R570.
I now know directly of about 50 people who have bought one.
add 3 on this side
Add another 5 :-) I love Dell.
Thanks Henk! I order 1, and then I tried the 640m too, and that you can customise down to -102!! So R470 TOTAL! So I bought one of those too. :) I added another 512mb ram to both though... just in case. As everyone else says, I really hope DELL will deliver.
Looks like its Fubared now.
We are sorry, but we are unable to process your request:
* You have an invalid bundle in your basket. You must remove it before your order can be completed.
Sorry, total on 640m with lowest specs should be R468.
Looks like they have this covered in their T&C's.
