    Im also curious about it. I asked my sale rep to load W7 onto my system instead of upgrade coupon before shipping it and he told me he will try to get it done. Don't know if he can do that.

    I bet thats why his is shipping....seems everyone else other then a few are sitting in limbo! I have been in the build stage for like 12 days now. They must be hand soldering all the components or I got a really stupid assembly tech (must be geek squad! LOL)

    Is anyone else experienceing this: I call dell to check on my order status everyday following the directions on the first post of this thread... Every day that I call, I get some weird shipping dates!
    I got one that is scheduled for shipping on october 21st, then it got pushed back to November 11th, then now its shipping is pushed forward to october 26th.

    i know this is not right because the automated lady says it's still in the build-stage and there is no way the system can be ready out of the build stage and be shipped on that same day.

    is going on with dellienware?

    I mentioned this while I was waiting for my system to ship a couple of months back. The automated phone line is just plain inconsistent. During one early morning call I listened to the automated shipping info and then it prompts you to end the call or check another order, I chose check another order and entered my order # again only to find it reported a totally different ESD. lol Oh well.

    You can always give a rep a call during business hours and see what they can track down. Worth a try.

    You updated your signature :D Congrats on your system. But as far as I know you should chang your number of lines and size in your sig.

    It needs to be passed Boxing Stage before it can be shipped. Mine the Boxing Stage is pretty short, 3 days.

    Yup! I did email the CS, twice, asking them to get my system shipped ASAP with a reasonable reason but actually they say no. And I emailed my sale rep a lot but just about the Windows 7. 3 days boxing stage is considered fast during this time. If you go back a couple of page you will know some more about boxing stage (in case you dont know). Another good thing about my boxing stage is it was proceeded in the weekend. Just save a couple of days tho.

    Edit: Err... No. You misreaded it. My boxing stage, not building stage, is 3 days. I ordered on Oct 07 and boxing stage is on 22 which mean 15 days in building.

    Well, I join the ranks of the delayed. Ordered 01 OCT 09, initial EDD 29 OCT 09. New EDD (checked order status; no notification recieved) 04 NOV 09. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    ...And I check my email today and I have one from Dell saying that my order has shipped and my EDD is returned to 29 OCT 09. So mysteriously it has gone from Build phase to Shipped and skipped boxing altogether. Eh, I am happy and looking forward to seeing it when I get back home.

    I'm going to wait and see what sales are available. Right now I still have my aging T60p. Looks like I have some stuff I need to sell now.

    Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

    Thank you for contacting Dell Online Customer Care.

    I understand from your e-mail that you want your order number xxxxxxxx to be expedited and know the reason for the delay. You also wish to get some discounts or additional components. I do apologize for the inconvenience caused to you because of the delay.

    I understand your concern and appreciate your feedback. However, I am unable to offer you any type of compensation.

    I would like to inform you that the most current information we have is that your order number xxxxxxx should ship on or before the [NEWEST] Estimated Delivery Date of 11/02/2009. Please be informed that we are unable to expedite the order, however, as the delivery date is estimated, you might even receive the order much sooner.

    At Dell all orders are handled with equal priority and once your order ships you will receive an "Order Shipped" email with the required delivery information for your order.

    You can also track the status of your order by visiting the following web link:

    Once your order is shipped, the name of your carrier and the tracking numbers would also be available at this same site.

    Sincerely,
    INDIA

    My stats are the basic stats only thing i changed was up to the dual 260M's I hardly have enough money to put the full specs in it.. However After seeing that crysis can run very high with no hang up im kinda glad i didnt fully spec it out...

    BTW i assumed you was asking me.. haha

    I am afraid that my M17x will end up stuttering since I got Quad. If it really happens then I don't know the point of purchasing it. I'm praying... Please listen to me God...

    Good to know, thanks! im new to the world of PC gaming and everyone and their mother has been telling me I have to play Crysis. From what I understand, it takes a very powerful config to play this thing at medium to high levels with no slowdown. if your system can run it, then my configuration can.

    Hi All,

    Just ordered my AW this past Sunday and it already feels like a long wait, lol. Thought about waiting until Black Friday or any rumors regarding specs for the next refresh but couldn't wait any longer and had to pull the trigger! :-D Glad I found this site, what a great site, already went through all kinds of info.
