    It's midnight as I type this and I won't be able to sleep as I'm way too excited In anticipation of my new laptop to arrive in 9-13 hours from now.

    Seeing as I can't sleep, I've been browsing the net for a new carry case for the new baby and have decided on the Alienware Orion Messenger from Dell. However, while I was at it, I stumbled across the Dell USA site which is selling a special edition Orion 'Tactical' version (same thing just in camo colours and they call it a 'briefcase' instead of 'messenger'). This is not available in my region (Australia).

    So then I was wondering if anyone knows a way around this? Is there any way an Alienware rep could help me buy from the USA site and get it delivered to AUS region?

    Also to note: Yes there's a million of these on sale at eBay and Amazon. But they're all either charging $57 for delivery or don't ship to Aus. As much as I really want the American version, I not willing to pay almost double price.
    And No, there is absolutely nowhere in Aus that sells it.

    Thanks
    Matt
