I was just wondering something. Are there reps from Canada? Or will I have to deal with outsourced reps?

why not dual 5870s?

I though i told her this was what I wanted, damn good catch! IF it was dual 5870's, what do you think of that quote?

I just got off the phone with a dell rep who claims the biggest discount he can give me is $50 on my fasttrack M11x. So now that I've got the price down to $999 + tax is there anything else I can do? Any coupon codes I can use?

@krazymych: When I called I got a foreign rep who transfered me to a US based alienware rep as soon as I mentioned that I was looking to buy an M11x. I can PM you his number if you'd like.

EDIT: Sorry about the double post. I swear krazymych posted after my first post, but now it's gone, lol.

As a reminder, coupon code sharing/discussion is no longer permitted. See the forum rules.

Thanks all.

No has answered this yet, so excuse me for repeating myself, I just want to make sure everyone can see the question.

Can anyone tell me how to get legit USA-based representatives on the phone? I mean, ones with English names and all? Not just people who speak English well? I ask not because I have a problem with the overseas reps I talk to, but because USA reps are supposed to help you get better discounts.

Everytime I call the EPP or something like that, and ask for a Dell US-based representative, they switchboard operator goes, "ok, let me get you into contact with one of our US reps." Only problem is, they all speak very good English, but their names are quite obviously overseas-based. I want to get contacted with people who are in America, not because I am biased against other people, but because I simply want the best deal. I mean no offense, and hope no one gets offended.

Like I said, if anyone has the info of a good rep they worked with, let me know please, through pm
