    I'm worried too. My EDD is 3/17, but apparently it doesn't look like I'm going to have it by then! :mad:

    my customer care rep called me today to let me know (for the 5th time) that she doesn't have an update from the manufacturing group

    so i was nice as pie and just thanked her for the call - no point in trying to put pressure on them, nothing will help

    Sweetness. I do wish someone else had a competing product I could buy from instead, but it's posts like yours that make me hold out hope of seeing mine eventually.

    Great pix... some of the best yet. When you get stuff set up, can you get some shots with it on the cryo? I'm thinking about getting one but want to see how high it sits.

    give me a couple of days to get used to it, set up everything and then another set of more "artistic" pix will come.

    Eh, i would make sure all the hardware is correct. You got your hard drives? correct CPU, video cards etc

    forget wallpaper :)

    Shouldn't the disks come raided?

    Don't check for flickering until you got the latest bios! Don't make you sad with your purchase.

    well, i saw that the disks and the cpu and the memory are in place. I did not upgrade the bios yet (didn't even check, maybe it came with 02 already)
    The disks didn't come raided cause i was extra 50 bucks. so i will raid them

    i feel so bad for you delta, but hey, i'm not getting any update either from dell, and i still didnt get any compensation either. so maybe i'm getting delayed again from my 3/12 eta. this is just sad.

    Purolator called me and told me mine will be arriving tomorrow. It just shipped Monday, I'm surprised it's getting here so fast considering I have standard shipping, I expected it Thursday or Friday.

    It seems like people should call dell when they get delayed and asked if the order has been canceled. There seems to be a pattern with that
