Phase 9! The Phase 8 QA check only lasted for a few hours. Hopefully it didn't consist of only a drop test and then a hand-off to the shipping dept. Maybe they'll get this crate out tonight.

Certainly seems like Alienware is updating the status pretty regularly and not after hours as some have assumed.

Dam you, jk. Just checked and mine is still at phase 8. I think Monday is a holiday, so maybe mine will go out Tuesday next week (3 holiday delays on my order). Fingers crossed.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Do they work on Saturday? I know that they take phone calls then, but I'm unsure as to whether their assembly lines keep running on Sat.

Looks like Friday the 13th has been good to me. I've reached phase 10 and got the shipment alert email as of 6:45pm EST. I feel lucky, but Clint Eastwood would still call me a punk anyway. Think it's time to buy another keg just to celebrate.

Lol. Enjoy that computer and that keg. Not sure if they work on Saturday but I wouldn't think they do. Might need to stop by and drink off the keg for awhile, so I can just sleep till mine gets shipped. Cheers to fast shipping for you.

Thats awesome, hopefully you'll have that baby in your hands soon enough. Just keep drinking from the keg and the time will flew, it always seems to happen to me.

Looks like all of us should be expecting our lappy around the same time!!!!I hit phase 8 as well today!!!!

Excellent!

I'd finish off the keg in celebration of your victory, but my 3 year old beat me to it. Good thing he's toilet trained.

Guess AW made some scratch from the 3 of us, eh? Let's hope some of it goes toward keeping their tech support folks well fed.

Bleeding edge, aye.

As you can see from the below, I haven't been following my shipment too closely.

In actuality, I'm solely responsible for doubling FedEx's normal traffic to their package tracking website. The worst part is that it'll probably arrive when no one's home to sign for it. I'm officially dubbing tomorrow as the longest day of the year.

Hahahaha...you know, we're pretty lucky that there aren't any major snowstorms to impede package progress. After all, it is the middle of January (in these parts we're calling this month June-u-ary since it's been so blasted warm).

You've heard of football widows, right? Well, my wife is about to become a computer widow for the next week. "Tweak week", muhahahaha...

I want a snow storm, haven't had one for some time now just not till after it gets here. It has been very warm, and the worry isn't of snow or ice this year its from wild fires, crazy winter so far (the last month was 15 degrees above average for the month). At least my ocz ram rma will be here tomorrow so that will help the one more day wait go by testing it. Enjoy yours tomorrow. Sorry, I think I was a bit off topic here.

Ditto. The kids got new sleds for Xmas and they're just rotting in the garage.

Don't worry; it's just a phase you're going through.
