    How are these guys for haggling? If getting a base config, I suppose you're better off just going with Dell? You could use coupons and the like too.

    Also: $55 for a repaste? Pfft.

    lol, so they place the order thru dell, get it shipped to them, then they ship it out after they do whatever to it....

    wonder the markup or benefit for them is?

    They charge a tad bit more as a "middle man fee" from what I gather.

    Nonetheless, they're a great company for everyone BUT the US/Canada since Dell charges up to x2 the price on their AW to some countries, so it makes it a great deal for foreign customers. Just look at how disgusting the Australian prices are for example. This company is godly in that respect.

    Sounds cool. I'm probably going to order a specced out one now that the M18x isn't showing its pretty face.

    Hey there! I've checked with their online support and they say the discount coupon system isn't up yet, so we can't use it.

    In fact, I'm just about to order from them once I've checked out the m14 personally at dell's shop tomorrow!

    Very safe.

    They're a big US reseller company that provides US/Canada rates to the rest of the world.
