    I'm looking at 3rd party package redirection services, to get the M17x I want to Australia, from the US. To get a quote on how much it will cost I need an approximate size of the largest package it'll be delivered in. As in, the large, large box everything is shipped in. If anyone could give me some dimensions, I'll love you for life.

    Cheers.

    PS: An approximate weight of the whole package would be sweet, too :)

    Have you had a look at HIDEvolution? They ship Alienware internationally (and I've heard they're good at avoiding import taxes too...).

    Thanks guys, ye, I looked at HIDEvolution, although, if I choose to purchase from Dell US, I get 15% off, that's around 300 dollars, which is quite a saving. I'll ask them about their taxes though ;)
