*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M17x-R2 Edition Owners Lounge!

yeah right you not getting p8400 you getting at least i7 820

 

Is the P8400 even an option? I'm guessing your specs include 4870s and some sort of "i" proc.

 

if mandrake is confused i am more

 

P8600 is the lowest proc you can get, nice try.

 

I meant that the iPhone while driving = mistakes

 

any way welcome back to alienware i guess you need to fix your sig. now

 

call me skeptical.

 

meh ... believe what you want im just a spolied rotten college kid

 

As am I!

lol

 

yes you are

 

I'M A SPOILED COLLEGE KID!

lol

(I pay for all my toys, but the parents pay for everything else...)

 

i pay for all

 

arghhh dell canada just keeps upping the prices of its components. Are they allowed to do that? rgb led screen was $200 yesterday now its $300. 3 years complete care was $399 now its $460. I'm talking all within 3-4 days

 

says the two rotten college kids on scholarships.

 

actually i have grants and scholarships + a job

here is my true system

 

yeah that's what I thought. Couldn't fool us.

Congrats!

 

Now you are talking!

Congrats Moo lol

(and I have no scholarships )

 

i want to buy something that looks purty on my m17x.. is dragon age worth the hype?

Can I hang out in here? or am I shunned because i'm rockin the old business

 

I have been hanging here, it is ok lol

Crysis has always looked good. I think Gears of War looks pretty good too, but that is my preference

 

Hopefully everything will look good on the RGBLED display

 

shunned bu-bye.

I played Dragon Age for 5 minutes and was immediately bored. lol

 

Same here. I'm on hold waiting to get a final price before I pull the trigger on this. So far base system except for the RGB LED, 3 yr advance warranty and the 500GB HD.

 

Better not wait too long, that 5% expires tonight.

 

If you truly like RPG games, Dragon Age is superb. If you are an FPS junky, you probably won't care for it, as it is a mix of strategy, puzzles, and action, with a great backstory.

 

shunnnnn shunnnn Charlieeeeeeee

I know and the phone lines close in 20 min. What I meant was I'm still on hold with the Dell rep waiting for him to give me a final price for my configuration.

 

I have seen that before....it is RIDICULOUS lol

3 words: heavy drug usage

Hey, anyone known if you can get the extra 3% from the Prefered account online? The rep just hung up with me and apparently there was some issue configuring the system (and I don't feel like calling with 2 min left). He's going to call me back tomorrow and promised me the extra 5% and maybe some more off since they had issues.

That said, if I can do this online I may want to give it a shot before I loose the 5%. So, can you get the Dell Preferred Account discount online?

 

Looks like I am the only one interested in the i7-620.

32nm sold me

 

No, the 3% is now gone.

I tried it earlier today.

 

I am ....

Just figured i would sell mine if i didn't like it

 

Get it online.

It's only gone if you don't know the right person to talk to at DFS. Anyone know of a place selling 160GB Intel X-25M's for a good price? eBay is close to retail prices so it's not worth it so far.

 

I don't deal with people on phones and I figured my 21% was enough

 

Boeing discount?

 

Yep.......

 

didn't it used to be 16%....? And I thought you said they knocked it back to the regular 7% from abuse by non-employees?

 

It normally is 16%, but the code I have still works for 21%

My order went thru fine so no worries here....

 

I see. Pretty nice then lol

 

I was going to just buy my M17x using the dell card but I can only get $2000 credit and I don't want it unless it at least has rgb screen and crossfire even with the 10%+5%+3% it not $2000

 

Right now Newegg has it for 500$ for the G2 160gb drive (says its normally 600$).

Get everything stock, but upgrade the RGB screen. Everything else you can upgrade when funds available. Especially tax season is around the corner. Jump for it. 10% + 5% = Under 2K with shipping and tax included. The discount right now is hard to come by.

 

Well I'm back to day 1 for the build that will be for me..new eta 2/16..sigh!

 

What happen ? a re-order?

 

Yeah I couldn't resist with that 5% additional coupon so I just went ahead and got that 920xm I wanted so bad. Now I got 3 orders coming so I gotta call tomorrow and cancel the first one...that's going to be fun.

 

You are a walking piggy bank.
