Ships April 28th, I'm so freaking excited!

Go for it, I'm 100% sure I'm going to love the system.

It's been less than a day and it's already through with kitting and being built right now

Edit: Has moved on to testing

IN BOXING!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many days does it usually take for boxing, like the flight from Malaysia?

Edit: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=85821 Thread indicates a 3 day turnover for boxing, and I'm about 5 hours from Nashville to drive, so I see myself gettign the system Wednesday at the earliest, a week and 2 days before Dell's expected ship date

Call the number at the top of the dell homepage. It's changed now, but I called 1-800-295-3355(just verified, the number still works). Follow the phone menus , answering for small business, less than 400 people, etc. I was connected to an american rep who took care of me. After gathering information to make sure I was a small business(Gandy Data systems, we work with computers, and have one employee in one location, my home) she asked me what she could do for me. I told her i priced the computer to around 1800 dollars, and I honestly couldnt afford that, and something close to 1400-1500 would be great for me. She loaded up my cart I saved online and put me on hold. She came back saying she could get me 100 off, and told me she would request more, hold again. Came back and said she got another 100 off, and would push for one more hundred. Came back negative, but she got 50 more instead, so 250 off online. All I had to do then was give her my credit card number, address, and We were done. We were on the phone for a total of 20 minutes, and I "made" 250 dollars, that equates to 750 an hour, and I think I'm worth that much

My strategy was to get it down into the 1500's, so i lowballed to the 1400's range to meet in the middle. Good luck, and let us know how it goes, I'm seriously loving Dell these days

Yeah, the 512 is 60USD more, so your system is most likely specced identical to mine

Lucky you, you ordered on the 11th, I did ont he 14th, so mine's soon too!

I'll post up a review and pics when I get mine
