Congrats, succubi! Keep us updated on your move through the Phase Game. Don't get discouraged if the phases take a bit of time to update. Plus - you've ordered the top of the line system, so expect it to take a bit of time to go through all the testing.

Well you expect to have to wait for a custom built system of such high quality. I was aware that this would be the case and although i would have loved to have the system pretty snappy i am prepared to wait for the superbly specced product. If people have a problem with waiting maybe they should just not order and use shops (and limit their specs). The fact that much of the prolonged waiting described seems to be testing then rebuilds, i find it quite satisfying and reassuring; I have faith that my system when delivered to me will have been rigourously benchmarked and major faults hopefully eliminated. I bought a desktop in 1998 for nearly 2 and a half grand from time which was dreadful and ever since i have always built my own for that reason. Besides their excellent specs, Alienware appear to be very open about their phases and whats happening, i like it and thats why i made a purchase. Nobody likes waiting but the reasons for purchasing the system in the first place overrides the downside of having to wait.
and thanks for the encouragement!

just thought maybe has something to do with it. But then again maybe they just don't update consistently! please keep me posted on your stage transition. Would be interesting to know. also i took finance so might be something. My order was confirmed on 28th I should add made it on 27th.

I'm in the US... Los Angeles. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I got an MJ and you got an Aurora. Eventhough they are the same comp AW lists the build time for the MJ as being a few days longer.. although it should mean the later stages take longer not that I will be stuck in 3 for a long time.
