WTS M17x r2

Here's the deal, I had an older m17x and it crapped the bed. After getting a refub as a replacement and that not having the parts my old one had Dell decided to give me a brand new R2. I'm waiting for that as we speak. The configuration specs out at $3,099.00 with out the complete care warranty. I have that warranty on the old laptop and it will transfer to the new one. about 3 years left on it. Specs on new:

I decided to go back to school and this thing is just too big. So if you were deciding to buy one this might be the deal for you.

Looking to get $2900, that's a great deal considering the laptop and the complete care warranty. The same warranty on the new machine is $399. That's a savings to you of about $600 not including tax.

I would post pics, but the system is still in production. I should have it in a week or so.

Where, I just configured it on the site and it was over $3400 with the warranty with out tax.

Just put the same specs in at the site. price before tax is $3488, tax is another $278. What were you looking at?

That pic only shows one video card not crossfire also that's a basic 3 year warranty not complete care.

But I totally appreciate the thread crap.
