[uberjab]

MY EDD officially changed to 3/15.................so to wait another week or not?

Just wait it out I think someone posted a few pages back that the GTX 580M was on back order till tomrrow 3/9. they delayed mine for the edd 3/8 to 3/20 a then change again back to the 3/8 I should have mine today before 4:30 pm Dells update stats are not that accurate.

YAY! Just ordered my Alienware M17xr3 tonight!

Intel core i7 2670QM 2.2GHz (3.1Ghz with Turbo boost)
4GB dual channel DDR3 RAM
750gb 7200RPM HD
WideFHD 1920X1080 WLED screen
2 GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 6990M

ALL for $1646 after tax!!!! I am excited!

EDD is March 19th!

Wow, a better deal than I got. I couldn't get them to up the GPU to the 6990m, but spent the same after tax.

What did you do to get that thrown in? Wondering if I should call back and gripe at them about it to see if I can get the better card. I like toying with hardware, upgrading myself doesn't bother me. A better price for better base parts though...

edit: Congrats, btw.

Awesome, finally. I hope they get all these back orders DONE

[uberjab]

yeah there's been people waiting alot longer than me I think its the 580m

[DarthGator14]

Ugh all this chatter about the 580m and the wait time is killing me! Now I'm debating whether or not I made a good decision. Is 3D really that important to me? I don't know. What I do know is I can build a system now with the 2860QM, 6990, and 1080p screen for less than what I paid for my build (2670QM, 580m, and 1080p).

So, should I cancel my order and reorder with the new specs? Heck maybe even if I call and chat with a rep they'll give me a better price.

Decisions, decisions, decsions...

Finally, after ten long days I finally have my rig Good luck people, and welcome to the fam for all the newer members

congrats to the people finally getting what they ordered. Still in limbo here...


While watching all these unboxing vids of the m17x, i've been seeing a lot of nebula reds and suddenly regret choosing black. Red just looks so different and cool, but it would be way to much trouble to turn back now... oh well. At least it can shoot cool lasers beams.

Nah man, the black soft-touch is so much more refined and sleek. You won't regret it at all.
