Ok so me and the gal got home from watching Gridiron Gang and trying to figure out how to waste an hour and a half before driving down to Fed Ex and picking up my laptop cause he showed up waaayyy to early earlier. Hark, whats that sound? Sounds like someone pulling up into my driveway?




Booya baby!! He has returned. I greet him at the door and even thought about giving him a kiss but the g/f is there.............and I don't swing that way *sorry Teck*

Now I rush upstairs...........



Its like a ray of light shining down with the heavely "ahhhhhhhhs"


I had to photoshop this one to get my chubby out of there....sorry for the sasquatch legs


Only seconds till I see my Cyborg Green Machine!!! Are you ready??? Can you handle it???



WTF???!!!!


I stand there thinking what the hell is this?


*deep breaths* I turn it on and find out its the 2.0 proccessor, from my first order. I canceled that one and ordered a cyborg green case with the 2.4. So I get on the horn and call AW. The guy tells me I have to call back and talk to a sales rep and I might have to send it back. them! I'm going to pitch a fit and tell them to send me something for all my troubles. I'm going to keep this one cause I don't want to be without a laptop plus who knows how long it would take to get it. Right now it's reformatting and once I'm done I'll run benchies. I do have to say it is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Did you get the green one yet?
Cool Man.... Cool..
Aw hell no, that puppy would be sent back. I would not be happy if I bought a system and had a certain color that I wanted and got the wrong system.

But, if you are happy, then by all means keep it. Make sure you square up with Alienware though.

Worried about the time in between shipping? I would so ship that thing back in their FACE!
Same here. I'd have to send it back because it wasn't the one I wanted...
Looks cool, tate!
thats annoying........ sorry tate
wow what a story there tate.... brutal
hey tate...um not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but...i dont think that's green...

=P

well, I say box it up n return it b/c later on, u don't want to feel like you should have opted for the cyborg green....

and my condolences to the bum situation tate =(
I've got the best scores with AW's stock drivers. The laptop2video drivers cost me points, no matter what version I used... I imagine your score is a bit lower than the others here due to the 2.0 instead of the 2.4, but I'd bet it's partially the drivers also.

That's a real bummer about the change not going through. If they won't send you the higher spec processor they should at least refund you the difference as if I recall you were able to upgrade at pretty much no cost as the price had dropped.

Unless you really want the green, maybe they can send you an ML-44 and you can return the one you received. That way other than the color it would be the system you ordered...

Does it have the 256 or 512 cards in there?
This may be the only case I've heard of a person being disappointed with an m9700 (I know there's others who truthfully had issues, but this was pretty funny to read....)

Hope you get everything sorted out quickly.
Oh, Tate...that's very disappointing. If it was mine, I'd be tempted to keep the silver - because it does look awesome - but then, you have the processor change too.

Darn! Wishing you good luck in sorting this out.
that sucks tate, im sry, i've never had a real problem w/ aw before but this is bs
Doh!....damn the devil. It still looks sweet, though not very green. Maybe you can use it while they build your green one?
Looks good to me, tate, even if it isn't green.
