spoke with alienware yesterday on the phone 4/15/05 and was doublechecking that the payment processing went smooth and to find out the estimated ship date. payment processing didnt go as smooth as planned, due to daily limits on the atm debit card, so it was processed in two seperate payments of $1643.00. after them charging the second amount to my card i aske dthem the estimated ship date and they said that it would be around 10 days or so.

just keepin ya updated

Hacker, you are going to LOVE it. I've been playing HL2, Doom 3, and Halo (I know, I Know, not great but what the hey) on it since Saturday morning when I got it. No sleep for me! It is a great machine. Be sure to get a laptop cooler for when you game...it can get pretty hot, I have noticed (though I am new at this, so it may be completely normal).

HaCkHaCkER · 04-25-2005, 11:38 AM

Just got off the phone with alienware and they said it has entered the qc stage and will be shipped either on the 26th or the 27 and I will have it approximately 4-5 days later. Heck yeah
