    Hmm...based on that pic, it was a bit more than a week to get it built since it started to be built on the 3rd, and shipped on the 13th - so 10 days :D

    I know it varies, but it makes me happy that I didn't cancel the order for the HD transmitter. The wait is driving me nuts...lol

    So the automated phone number that tells us a more detail description on the production status does not work for me. I live in the US and I am curious how other people are getting more detailed order information.

    I ordered it on the 6th of May and the website says EDD on the 31st but I was hoping I would get it sooner like some people on this thread did/are.

    I assumed the production of these didn't happen on weekends and didn't bother checking the status. Am I wrong there?

    As it turns out, I ordered mine Late in the day may 6, and it still shows "in production"

    They're likely shipping the orders based on configuration and parts availability rather than the time ordered. I ordered on 5/3 and my system will be here day after tomorrow. Others that ordered at the same time are still sitting in the build stage.

    I've gone full fat all the way ...except for the hdd - 2x750gb ...but just ordered the new OZC vertex 3 120gb max IO edition to go in :) amazing speeds +500mbs RW

    Well, it will be day 7 for me tomorrow. As it is, I usually hit refresh at least once an hour to see if the status has changed to something other than "In Production". When I am playing my games, I don't mind that much. However when I am looking for something to do, I hit F5 on multiple pages - Fedex, "Dell Order Status", and "Dell Order Shipping times" :p

    The way I see it it saves on shipping from China, or wherever these boxes are from.

    Mine will be delivered to my job and honestly, I don't think I can wait to get it home :p

    I will take my break/lunch and load it up.

    Lets all hope the hype equals the wait and the anticipation.

    Happy Day! Finalizing Production on one page and shipped on another. Fed Ex already has the order number in there system. Not sure how accurate the info is there though as it says "shipment information sent" but shows tomorrow as the delivery date. We will see I guess :)
