    My order has been in production for 2 weeks and is supposed to arrive on Monday. Anyone else have this happen? My previous order was delayed till aug.22 so i cancelled that and made a brand new order that had an edd Aug. 15. I dont want my order to be delayed again, has anyone else had similar problems with ordering?

    Is there anything I can do or say to speed up the process?

    What did you order? Maybe a component or two added to the delay.

    I think you would have been best off keeping the first order jack. I think you and I both live in Canada and we both ordered our systems around the same time (when there was the bug on the Dell canada website offering the 580M for $150 on top of the base graphics card).

    I too was told Aug. 22nd and got mine on Aug. 3rd

    Aug 3rd? wow lol, Maybe I should have waited but then the 3d screen came out and I got that instead. If you dont mind me asking, what price did you end up paying for urs?

    Yes I ordered mine when the 580 was just $150. In the end I got the 580m 2720 killer wireless 3d screen rest stock for 2500 compared to the 2300 prior to the screen upgrade.

    Prices include 12% HST
