    I bought mine with one back in July, I have no issues, maybe they where not selling that option as much as needed to keep.

    They still list it as a build option on the Alienware Australia site. I ordered one last week but got an email a couple of days ago saying it isn't available now. I'm guessing they just hadn't updated their build pages. :(

    Dave-p is very wise. Just get one from eBay. I wouldn't buy it from Dell even if they did offer it. Get all of your goodies accept the GPUs and LCD aftermarket. You'll save a lot of money.
