Delayed shipment (twice)!

I ordered an Aurora 7500 on 9 sept.
The estimated shipping date was 22 Sept.
But Rita (Yes, the hurricane, not the AW representative) delayed the shipment of my liquid cooling. I thought, well its natural disaster what can I do. Then somehow the Lite-on CDRW is out of stock
I immediately changed my CD-RW to DVD Drive so it made the Phase back to phase 2.
I really need this computer for my schoolwork, but AW keep delaying it...

I'm gonna buy a second display for my system. Any suggestion? (preferrably 19')
And one more, is Logitech Z 5500 Speaker any good? Anyone have the Creative Gigaworks? Which is better?

Nvm, I put a request to speed up the process and AW did a good job with that!!
now I'm in phase 12!!

yes, phase 12 was what the customer service was telling me.....

But from the alienware.com website IM NOW IN PHASE 10!!!!


I hope it doesn't take too long to go through Canadian Custom.

The natural disaster was out of AW's power.
But the CD-RW drive was not out of stock when I ordered it, while they were waiting for my liquid cooling to arrive, somehow they ran out of stock for the CD-RW drive. I was in phase 4 (old phase) when the CD-RW somehow gone out of stock. But they managed to speed up the building process and they finished it earlier than the estimated shipping date. So woohoo!!!

It will arrive today!! I will post pic soon!
