    Yeah its irritating me heaps, The factory won't get back to my Rep so he can't update me on the situation. So i don't know whats going on.

    Firstly he emailed the Factory, They replied saying that they would have a ETA for me on Tuesday (Due to Chinese New Year week and time differences) so i was like "Cool cool i can wait" Tuesday came and i got nothing. Wednesday came and i got another email from my Rep saying the Factory hasn't sent him a reply. So now I'm stuck in Limbo waiting for them to get up and send either him or me a ETA for at least some Info on how long the part will take to get here.

    well people its not just u in Australia.. Am In London and still waiting for my m17x with led since jesus Christ was born..
    each time I get a different lie.. Last time they called me they said they r short on led.. And not to worry I will get it in 24th of feb.. Now I get an e mail saying on the 3rd of march.. But somehow I was checking the invoice they sent, n guess what my led transformed to a ccfl :)
    called them back but like usual they say not to worry..
    so as much as I am waiting to get my first alienware , now I find myself waiting to see if I was laughed at n been given a differnt display...

    It seems like DELL is speeding their order because many folks in US get their order process faster. Hope DELL get enough stock.
