    Hi guys, Well bacially i ordered my area 51 alx on 20th, today (24th) i checked the delivery status and its not there, so i phoned my rep up, he says ill phone you back. 20 minutes later nothing, so i re-check the delivery and suddenly its on 'shipped' status after 4 days? i did get a big discount by phoning and talking and got it from £5450 to £4506, im just worried there shiping a new chase, and giving me refurbed parts. Am i just being paranoid? he also said it will be shipped straight to me? As for my M17x it came from china to denmark then me.

    thanks

    ( i would put it on the desktoppreview website, but noone ever replys or goes there.. i think there should be a alienware desktop bit on this forum as the guys are great with helpingme as always!)

    maybe.. but when i pres to track it it displays blank! im very skeptical of aliewanre.. well del mostly, as there cheap little buggers who like to cut corners some times, and to quite a tech ''they love a cheap peice of cake'' as he replaced alot of new components on laptops that were bought new but had refurbed parts
