wow... a dell rep must have gotten hungry and grabbed a jollyrancher when building your rig.
Hopefully your second one is fine, and so are ours. Anyone have any exp. in the "build" stage??? how long is it??? its been this way for a week now.
-
Wow sorry to hear that.
I wish everyone the best at getting a good working system with no problems, and I hope Dell's CS takes good care of anyone who does have problems. It's way to much money to just settle for something less than perfect. -

I ordered through AAFES, on 3/7, and mine shipped out saturday. It would have been recieved, but I guess the FEDEX guy must be braindead, because he never even went to the door at my moms workplace where I had it shipped. There's always someone to sign there, and i know that someone was there at 9AM when the laptop came in. This is so frustrating!!!!
Worst thing that could happen to a patiently waiting teenager. -

I feel for you.
It was so close for me, yet so far. I may have to ask my mom to try and get it for me. I work all night after school today. -
reading this forum is like having a support group for people suffering from terminal waiting. this will be my first gaming pc, cant wait
i ordered 3/8 from aafes, still says in production, edd is 4/4 -
whats the first game you're play on your new alienware. mine will be civ v, or crysis 2
-
Already played Crysis 2 (last night)... 30-40 FPS, Runs alright and looks great but I don't really like the game. Feels console-ized. -
Ill play Crysis Warhead and GTA IV along with Metro 2033 to test it out.... then When Crysis 2 comes out ill grab it
ALso most lilely will get back onto WOW, and see how that runs -

Wrong Video Card Update:
Finally struck out. Nobody from parts called me again, and I got tired of waiting, so I called this afternoon. The first person said he didn't think I could swap the cards out, but I might be able to send my old card back, get credited for it, and then buy the new card. (What the?) Even though he was very pleasant, I could see it wasn't going to go anywhere, and as it turned out he wasn't in parts after all.
So I got connected to spare parts, and spoke to a very pleasant lady there. She said she didn't know if they would be able to swap the cards out (as in procedure wasn't in place to do that), but before we even worried about it she wanted to see if the 6970M was even available as a spare part. It took her about 5 minutes looking into it and asking a couple of other folks, but she came back and told me that since it was so new it was only available in the pipeline for new builds, and wasn't in their system at all. She also said there was no way I could be put on a waiting list, and didn't know when it would be available at all.
So...I called Aafes and put the wheels in motion to return this one and reorder the configuration I asked for. It is extremely ironic that everybody on here is agonizing about not having their M17x...and here I am having to freaking return it. Insane! -
-
wait that is a ship date, not and EDD date. Although, if it actually took 7 days to arrive it would be on the 7th, which is only 2 days after my EDD and I ordered a week ago. -
-
Best of luck to you. -
So anyone looking for an M17xR3 with the 460m 60hz screen...keep watching that outlet! -
Anyone with an order date of 3/7 with the 6970 receive theirs yet? Also, anyone who ordered from aafes around that time receive theirs yet?
Cuz it's still a waiting game for me -
-
-
Well I got my rep to upgrade me to overnight but my EDD is still 3/31 even with overnight. It's been in "Build" for 8 days now so we'll see what happens.
-
it is possible they are facing some production shortages, I think I read somewhere that depending on what configuration you selected there was a simple item that was holding things up like a certain memory config or NW card or similar, I hope I'm wrong
-
OMG it's here! No tsunami or earthquake damage. It's new and not a returned unit. No keyboard flex, finger prints, etc. It's so en big!
-
Ordered on 3/5, edd of 4/1, and arrived and in my hands on 3/15.
And as you know, it was through AAFES.
I'm in love with this machine, and i've only had 2 hours with it so far! -
With their business practices over the years, Nvidia has shown themselves to be a company I would rather not support if at all possible. It's a personal thing. -
I ordered mine and it has been in the build stage since the 5th! Ordered through aafes.

it just landed, and good lord it is big (in a good way)
-
Also want to point out that you got the 6970 and still got yours in 10 days. -
-
you guys are waiting 2 months? I thought they would have learned from the past. If they dont have the parts for it then they shouldnt be making it possible to order one.
About a year ago when i ordered my M17xr2, it took them 2 months from order date to having it in my hands. The dell reps lied to me and they are ignorant, IMO dont trust anything they say about your order date. It took a complaint to the BBB, in which i got it within a week. Alot of other people had the same problem. -
A week? THATS IT?
You do realize mine was in production until 3 hours before it was delivered, right?
Also I don't even have an EDD.. lol. -
Just put in my order. Got the NBD shipping and it still said 4/7.
-
As long as it actually has a 6970 that is. I need to use gpu-z just to check when i get home, because i'm paranoid like that.
