Just got off the phone with AW and apparently I can't get refunded for the RAM price change because the Wuxga screen went
up $100 so the price total of my order is the same.
I could get refunded a measley $20 if I wanted since the ram was $270 and is now $150 but doing so would delay my order by 48 hours while they send it back to billing.
Hardly worth it...

On a brighter note the 'agent' said the two backordered items.... screen and optical drive.... came in today so with any luck my system should ship by early next week.
