New to the boards. Thought I would thank everyone for making my decision much easier than it would have been had I not found these boards.
After reading everything I could find on the Aurora m7700 and m9700 I decided on the m9700 in Booger Green.
Specs:
Alienware Aurora™ m9700

Chassis: 17" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD with Clearview Technology - Cyborg Green
Motherboard: Alienware® NVIDIA® Mobile SLi Chipset

Estimated ship date: 10-23-06
Ordered: 10-7-06
Phase 1, 2, 3: About 1hour after I submitted my order I checked the status. It was already at Phase 3
Phase 4: Called 10-13-06 and was informed it went into Phase 4 that morning.
Phase 5: 10-16-06
Phase 6: 10-17-06
Phase 7: 10-17-06
Phase 8: 10-17-06
Phase 9: 10-17-06 (When I woke up this morning it had jumped from 5 to 9.)
Phase 10: 10-17-06 - ETA 10-24-06 - WTF? This is 2 - 3 day shipping?
Again thanks to all for the great reviews and pics. Made my life a lot easier.
