    Just now got off the phone with Logan. He asked that those interested contact him or his counterpart at Dell. Their emails are:

    [email protected]
    [email protected]

    (hope I got this right guys)

    BTW, Joelhr is the one to thank for this deal!!! I'll keep you posted as to this discount I am offered. Logan is working on it now.

    I just got 15% off from my first rep, I do not think I could get much better, please post if anyone does better. He told me a group buy would not help me any more than what I got.

    How much did everyone get % off? Im going to call Logan tomorrow after my final exam. Who ended up using him and how much was he able to get off? Logan did say we could use the $100 off coupon in his last response to me.

    Hey guys, just got my M17x w/CF 5870s ordered through Logan & Ben. I ordered more than just that box. I got cables, a Wacom pad, 30" monitor, etc. Total was $10,595 w/ tax and shipping (from my shopping cart). I got a little over 15% off. Ordering was easy.

    And, I would not have gotten a thing off without Joelhr's idea/suggestion to do this. I work for myself so don't have all of those EPP discounts, etc. Thanks for the $2K suggestion Joelhr. +1 Rep.

    The other items I ordered gave him some wiggle room. For example, he discounted a $100 HDMI cable to $25. Then the shipping, a discount on the monitor, etc. All in all it work out great for me and I am totally satisfied. (Not sure when that Rep Power shows up for you Joe but it should be soon!)

    Yo Mazada you should post the contact of the Sales rep that you got that deal from. The most iv got throw phone was a 10% (not instant) and No discounts cuz it was aparently "To high end" to give discount to.

    I think Logans discount depends on what you order... I dont call 15%-16% sucking. But anyway good luck to you and enjoy your AW when you order it

    15-16% is excellent. if you can get more then good, but most likely 15% from most reps.

    %15 off sounds about right. Mine was through EPP+some haggling and ended up being 15% cheaper.

    I called into the EPP line, and got a little over 15% off, plus NBD delivery, and the DPA 12 month same as cash financing. All told not bad. I was working with Logan/Ben, but they weren't playing ball. I just called in, and get a better deal from somebody I hadn't even talked to before.

    Same discount as me. Not bad. I can't complain with my +15% since I have no EPP. Maybe folks without EPP can make use of this deal with Logan and Ben. Can't wait until they get here. June 17 or so. Thanks joelhr.

    For the discount, just ask me... We don't have EPP with our company just contact either of the following dell reps and they will help you:

    [email protected]
    [email protected]

    Logan is the manager.

    I kind of don't believe that discount of 30% or it must have been some kind of special "coupon" that no one can get made for Dell elites, etc...

    Again thank you for the OP, I have ordered my R2 today and got a roughly 15% discount which is great when you are not eligible for EPP.

    Hm 15% discount? I only got a 10.3% discount.
    M17x
    Intel Core i7 920XM
    Windows 7 premium
    1 year basic service plan
    Dual 1GB HD5870 CF
    1920x1200 RGB LED
    4GB Ram @ 1333MHz
    500GB Harddrive
    DVD+-RW, CD-RW

    Price including tax @ Dell - $3699.11
    Price including tax @Logan - $3340.98

    Admitedly its a savings of $358.13, but 15% it is not. Should be looking at a $554.86 discount
    Expected Price including tax @ Logan - $3144.25

    EDIT: I notice the 1200p RGB screen has a 40% discount on it. I don't know if tha is factored in or not.

    I ordered through Ben from Facebook and Team Blackhawk yesterday and just want to say ordering through them is 10x easier/better then out sourced. He took care of me quickly. With the outsourced they messed up and put me for an EPP program that gets a lesser discount. Which is not what I stated, than they messed up the order, than I was cut off on the phone numerous times. 1 Call to Ben and he got my previous order canceled and took care of me. Great service!

    Good stuff Joker. It's always nice to see people helping each other out.

    Congratulations Jubbing, I suppose that'll make you one of (if not the) first person in AU to have a system with 5870's. :cool:

    I would have ordered from them if they had the same discount that others were getting. I ended up just calling in and getting 15% off.
