Hmm, I wonder if they'll be doing this for the UK site too... I'm in phase 3 with my m5550. Maybe I should cancel and see if any of these offers will give me a better deal. Gah, just configured the same machine and it's £80 ($150)...

I've ordered my m5550 from Alienware Germany because it was a lot cheaper. Phoned the customer support to make sure and they said they were all put together in Ireland so it shouldn't make a difference which site I used. It's not here...

I'd strongly suggest not buying it from the US. Import Duty and VAT could add something like 35-40% on top of the price (including shipping charges). I bought some clothes a few years back from a US site (cost about £100) and ended...

Ahh, it's a risk I'm willing to take.. Ordered my m5550 on the 9th. Specs should be in my sig.

Wow, that sucks that you've had problems, but that is a beefy upgrade. And it's GREEN, congrats.

I think it's the same for Switzerland as it is in the German site. It's more expensive on the UK site than the German, so if I order it from the German one, I assume because I'm in the EU that there would be no extra charge/taxes..

Just wondering, do you live in Germany or somewhere else in Europe? I'm in the UK and should be ordering my m5550 soon, to buy it from alienware.de would be a quite lot cheaper for me than ordering from alienware.co.uk.

I'm in almost exactly the same situation as Kafka Tamura. I'd be using it for graphic design primarily (Illustrator, Flash, PS) but also playing some games (CSS, BF2). I've been considering an m5550 for ages, almost bought it last night...

Great, thanks very much. Should be ordering it soon. The only thing I would like more would be a cyborg green version.
