    I'm curious on the deals available, knowing that 'M18x maxed out' for what I spec runs SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. So, yeah, very curious what kind of deals can be offered, as we near Christmas time... :)

    Thank you Andrew for your quick response. I really do appreciate your time & help with my purchase of the m17x R4. I can't wait to get it!!! For anyone who is "sitting on the fence" & considering Alienware vs computer brand X... Purchase the Alienware. There aren't too many companies that offer that "personal touch" like Alienware. Thanks again Andrew for your help... you are Awesome !!!!

    Looking for some advice, guys. Going to be pulling the trigger on the new system sometime around the end of the year or so - historically, when are the best sales; Black Friday type events, or Christmas time, or early January, or when? I figure there will probably be some specials offered at these times, but trying to figure out when the best time to buy might be. Any thoughts?

    (edited to fix a spelling error... :p )
    (and again to fix grammar - wow, my English teacher would be depressed!)
    (edit 3 - *sigh*)

    Add me as a potential Alienware owner waiting to see if Dell throws us a bone next week. Dell, with reported profits down 47%, let us help put you back on your feet by giving us a break on these beautiful machines!! :D

    I haven't followed these threads as closely lately, but I don't remember Alienware doing many black friday or holiday deals.

    I've seen the best deals coming from the military discount or various corporate discounts if you're with a certain company, etc...
    Most are from just finding the right rep who can and is willing to mark them down a ton.

    I received my quote today after contacting Andrew, but it was the same full price I got off the Alienware builder last week. However the Dell rep said her quote included 2 discounts I qualify for? Do some people really get up to 20% off by following the process in this thread?

    Sometimes. It mainly depends on the time of year and current discounts. If there aren't discounts available, they'll like offer you one that is not available purchasing directly through the website.

    Andrew hasn't been online since the 2nd, three days today. Can you by any chance notify him that he has pending messages on the NBR forum?

    I would appreciate it, thank you.

    I just got another email from Dell. After going through this they are willing to give me a 2% discount. Thats $70 off a $3500 machine. Thats the same deal the phone rep offered me last week. What a waste of time.

    I was told I'd receive a call by Monday, it's now Wednesday and still nothing. Though if what kmeyer is saying is true that they are offering a 2% discount right now I won't be buying anyway. I'm really disappointed if that's the case, I was really excited to buy one.

    Andrew - I left you 2 voice mails on your team mailbox the last few days and a pm. Please give me a call or email me a direct number to call you. I'd like to at least confirm this is the best offer Dell can do soon.
