The phases will go fast. Though I have seen some hardware changes with the online ordering, so they may have run low on some things. Hopefully there will be no backorders. Mine has gone through really quickly.
Congratulations!

A little bummed. The day I ordered they did not have any 2.0 Ghz cpus. You got lucky! That ate up another $350 on my order, rats I could have used it for a larger hd too.
my eyes are probably not be as good as yours for that resolution but I be it looks awesome!

The 1920x1200 is great if you do a lot of design work. You can really reap the benefits of that if you have to have 2 documents open, side by side. I'm very pleased with the 1920x1200 display.

Congrats though. You're gonna love that system.

And yes, the waiting game is the WORST game to play on an Alienware. We've all gone through it though, so we can all relate. Mine came a day earlier than it was supposed to, but I was asleep when the delivery guy came (he came around 9:30, and I usually sleep til noon on the weekends). And I had to wait a whole extra day to get my laptop. It was terrible.

It's worth it in the end though.

Thanks guys It's been two days and I'm going crazy already. There's few reasons why I went with the high res. I do a lot of photoshopping and I like to multi-task. Also having a wide range of resolution settings to choose from is nice as well. I guess I can consider myself lucky, I have someone at home who can sign for the delivery

If you rub the little ninja too much you could go blind.

This sucks! My order was moved back to Phase 3 because there was a delay in the production. It was supposed to be shipped yesterday now it's pushed to this friday or maybe next monday.

I did see some things go in and out of the configuration utility after I ordered. I was pretty lucky but had to go with the 2.16 cpu. Afterwards I saw the go6600 go out for a few days and something else I can't remember.

I guess it is a lot of luck when things run out on the line and when you order.

Lets hope you don't get any more delays, that last weekend will be driving you crazy.
