I don't have enough time to order online as I am leaving for a trip to Europe amd wanted to take my laptop along. The problem is haven't even ordered and due to some problems I can't order till the 16th April. I leave on 1st may and I don't think it is possible that if I ordered on the 16th that I'd be able to receive it on time. Are alienware models available at Dell direct kiosks and how expensive are they out there?? Also can anyone suggest a site or an eBay reseller who has preconfigured ones in stock??

eBay.... But ask the seller first if they have actual stock.

Have been contemplating the same thing, I would love to go with using eBay, but I don't have a credit line with them like I do with DELL..

Also, on eBay you MAY be able to wiggle the price down a bit.
