THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP in getting me to chose Alienware over Dell, hope it isn't plagued by back-orders

will keep up-to-date in the sig

oh and if anyone would like a sig of that type, i would be more than happy to make you one with my new Alienware-related enthusiasm

i love how one person can call alienware and they say everything's in stock and then another person calls and everything's back-ordered

oh and maybe i could slip by, i didnt get the DVD-RW

backorder traps orders on phase 3 right?

if you try to order one now it says 'estimated ship date: September 12'

interesting, when did you order it?

damn my indecision, i should've ordered on monday

sure i'll do it this afternoon

edit:
