    I'm pretty sure you could find quite a couple by using Google.
    Honestly you could probably get a better discount than a coupon if you call an Alienware sale's rep and ask about special offers or promotions.

    Don't get the 1tb hard drive. Get the 750gb HD (7200rpm). 5400rpm is too slow. And then you can buy an ssd later if you wanted to!

    congrats on your new R4!

    i had the m11x first like you and just got my new R4 over the summer.

    you are going to LOVE it even more than when you first opened the packaging for your m11x.. i sure as hell did :D

    it should definitely last for 2+ years of gaming.. got my m11x just over 2 years ago and is still going strong.. passed it on to my gf :p
