    I just bought a M15x and I got a few deals to pass along. It took me three operaters until I found one to play ball. I got the Alienware, Inspireon Mini 10v for 99.00 and A Mamba mouse. I was able to get my 3% Preffered customer discount, 10%epp and an extra $50.00. Total shipped was $2034.00
    The other reps kept telling me I couldn't get the Mini and 10% but I found one to make it work. Says it will all be shipped on Dec 10. Probably going to give the mini to our 9 year old for Christmas. I also got free shipping and no interest for 12 months on my prefered account. Not to shabby.

    Config:
    720 cpu
    GTX 260
    4 gigs 1333 ram
    1920x1080 res.
    250 gig hard drive
    Windows 7
    Razer Mamba mouse
    Mini 10v w/xp

    The mamba wasn't free. I just put that in as part of the configuration. The total with tax shipped for both systems and the mouse was $2034.
