    Just got an email 45 seconds ago from a Dell Tech I have been speaking with;

    I’m really sorry about this, but it seems to be that due to issues with Intel’s latest chipset it was not possible to fulfill the requests for M17x R3 or Aurora R3 units. However, if you may be interested, we still have the M17x R2 available. Also we are preparing for deployment of the M18x R1 very soon. Would you be interested in any of them, please let me know. Thank you.

    Edit -
    I told him I want one, he just got back to me with this when I asked for info on them;

    Actually they are right now in projection status, but we expect that within the following 2 or 3 months we may have these units ready for marketing deployment

    Hmm, hard to believe a Dell rep, but I'm not sure a Dell rep would say someting like that unless they were asked. Either way, I may wait a little bit longer just to see the price of this thing
