I am getting tired of waiting for blu-ray. Anyone know of a better system? I like Falcon but way over priced. Tosh only has 1 video card but they do have blu-ray drives. I do not care for the design of sagar

how did you get such a good deal, I am looking at having to pay around $3000.00 for a system with the RGB screen, i7 820QM cpu, 6gb 1333mhz ram, dual Ati 4870 video cards, this is already with about $350.00 in discounts.

Oh by the way, your 1985 includes/excludes tax?

I suggest, everything is just about the mind game, plus some luck (to meet a good sales rep)

I didn't mention to you guys about "all the difficulties" I have gone through.
>> Phone up Dell... Wait, and wait and wait... Finally got a sales rep
>> Not a good deal, drop it
>> Phone up Dell, again, and wait and wait.... Got another one
>> Bargain, and bargain, and wait, and wait (for my case, the sales rep claimed that she has to talk to her manager)
>> After 30 minutes, she returned to me with a price ("Is this price good for you?") I said no
>> Wait, AGAIN, and wait, and wait, and wait. After another 20 minutes, she returned to me again ("Is this XXXX price better?")
>> The entire section took me more than 2 hours!

its without the taxes but i thing taxes are subjective in this sport since not all of us are fortunate enough to not have to PAY then if i still was stationed in germany id be tax free

lol too complicated with all your methods to reduce cost. i spent 3 mintues, no less 2 mintues on the phone with my rep. and got 410 dollars discount on my M17x

now i am offered 18% discount on M11x

oh you son of a door knob you ordered on the 2nd and it already shipped!! I hate you and love you at the same time!

steelcurtain11 · 02-10-2010, 09:42 PM

Any new coupons out there? Last config I got (in my sig) was $1600 shipped.
Or is it worth to haggle down an M17x to $1800's (like some people in previous posts in here) if that includes shipping?

I'm just not sure what to go for, I want to make the most of my money that I spend on this machine. But also I want to save as much as possible!

or how does an i5 or i3 sound with a 240m on the m15x?
If that's capable of running some newer games then I'd definitely go for that. I just don't know how well it'd run..
(borderlands, sc2, Wow, mw2, etc.) hopefully full settings with all the shiny options on

well think of it this way if you want the newest monitor availible for laptops and an sli/xfire capable laptop get the M17x if those things dont bother you any then get the M15x it would better suit you and save ur wallet in the end its just prefrence. If they hadnt offerd the RGB LED or sli i would of definantly gotten the M15x if thats any help
