    Have not seen anything posted about the m17xR3's now on the Outlet site.
    How do the prices stack up? And has anyone ordered one yet?

    The prices are really good. Must be the batch of defects from the sandy bridge cougar point defect recall. But a couple of them are sporting 6970s. Most however, are the base 6870 or 460m with 60hz FHD WLED, which defeats the purpose.

    That really is a fantastic deal. Makes me wish I had just waited and bought off outlet. Next time... I'll be waiting for outlet

    I got the one in my sig WITH a 3 year advanced service plan for 2019(1600 before warranty)! Perfect like new condition externally(seriously couldn't tell it wasn't new). Required a mobo replacement however, it wouldn't charge. Other than that, the thing is a beauty!
