yea new SSD you should get from Newegg.ca
also yea CPU's from ebay are used but 90% of the people here who ugrade use them
you can buy from newegg, rjtech, and many many other stores -
Cool!! Thanks for the help (+ rep), i'll try and look for a qx9300 on ebay then, i'll check the newegg tomorrow too, gotta go to sleep, See ya

For the SSD get the OCZ vertex ... i can boot in under 10 seconds on windows 7 and around 10 for vista(trimmed )

i've been checking my order status everyday since i ordered it (5th June) and still 'order received'. i called the sales rep and she says that i can't track my order online. and there is no alternative, even for her. she apparently calls some colleague to get the status and it's going to 2-3 weeks from the 11th!
...and coz it's being packaged "overseas". i asked why it would take so long if it's Malaysia (i'm in Singapore at the moment) and she said not Malaysia. so...customers in the US get it built in Malaysia and those in Singapore get it built in the US?
in case the ridiculousness of this isn't obvious...Singapore is a 45-50 minute flight from KL, Malaysia or 5-6 hrs by bus or 2.5 hrs by car if u're willing to drive that fast.
and here i am all prepared and buying 2008-09 games to enjoy when it gets here :-( -
the order status page is fubar....
and take into account the recent dell buyout of AW.
they are going thru growing pains and prob did not plan for the huge response they had with this unit.
if you wanted an immediate purchase, you could always go to best buy or walmart.... -
more to the point, the email from them confirming the order and saying "5-7 days" really should be corrected for accuracy...

Seems there is some trouble in Holland/Europe. My rep has got many complaints from people who are in phase 2 : pre-production for over a week now, and don't seem to get any further.
Yesterday he mailed me that my system was in production already, now he is not so sure about that anymore. He also told me that if I would order a system now I would get an EDD of end of June.
This is getting very frustrating and annoying.
Somehow I get a feeling that there is a serious lack of parts here in Europe just to keep the US customers happy.
I really am not very happy at the moment.
Anyway, he will mail me when he knows what the problem is. -

Edit: BTW, if someone wants the exact SSD that comes with the system but buy it after-market you need the Corsair P256 which is a rebadged version of the Sammy PB22-J. The Samsung uses it's own controller which makes it different than any other on the market. -

DARN!!
Still in build...................... -
I had to check mine this morning. Had to make sure it wasn't already shipped.
-
I just called for my status and found out the silver metallic laptops are being delayed a little longer than normal.
-
I also spoke to another rep asked about the differences in prices for the upgrades between US and Europe. And the only thing he said was bla bla bla, diferent strategies ,bla bla bla, US always cheaper, bla bla bla.
I'm really pissed of at the moment. -
-
called this am, still in the boxing stage. How long does it take to box a laptop? It should be in the shipping stage!
-
Vandit...i envy you, Don't complain about boxing! Seriously... Unless it goes past 3 days then crack skulls.
-
-
Anyway, does any1 from other country rather than US have the option to personalize the nameplate?? Eu, Singapore??
@Mandrake: thanks a lot for the infor -
-
Or maybe the're fixing sometime (prices come to mind).
Way to go Dell! -
Singapore: my order lists N329P - Alienware Nameplate, but it doesn't give an option to personalize it while customizing online. so i presume they're going to put the first & last name according to the billing/shipping address.
-
-
Still in Build stage. Damn you all in boxing. And sorry for those people overseas who are less fortunate about order numbers to call and get updates.
-
, sorry, I live in the US
-
-
Hello, was wondering if anyone knew a Canadian order status telephone number? Or is it only for the US?
-
Mine is still in the build stage. :-(
Just checked this morning. Ordered through EPP rep on phone 9:30am 6/5... -
I bet sleey0 memorized the phone number and his order number already
-
I have my cell speed dial programmed to dial the number pause, do the prompts with pauses and then enter the order number followed by #... I don't even have to dial it anymore.. lol -
I feel your pain. (Since I am in the same boat - or rather stage)
-
There should be an option when you create the contact and enter the number that says insert pause/delay... -
haha. That's awesome! btw- you can't get your q6600 higher on clock spped than that? I have mine running at 3.4 right now on air -
-
I am old school and prefer dialing myself
And, yes, I have memorized the phone # and order # = memorized it the first day -
One component is missing.
He just couldn't tell me which component.
Hopefully this component will arrive Monday. -
Sleeyo how often do you think the phone status would be updated per day. I assume calling every hour like you would be a bit overkill? I am trying to stick to 2-3 a day.
-
-
I wouldn't be calling 20 times a day if it was updating only once per day -
Noted, guess ill be calling..5 more times today.
-
-
Keep in mind that Malaysia is 12 hours ahead, so I would imagine calling in the evening and morning would be your best bet for a status change.
-
-
I call twice a day. Still in "build" phase. I ordered 2 days ago and I'm already impatient!!
Anyone know which font they use on the new M17x keyboard?
New Alienware M17x
Black metallic
Core 2 Xtreme QX9300
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
SLI Dual 1GB GTX 280M
17'' 1920x1200
Vista Ultimate 64
500GB SSD Raid 0
Blu-Ray drive -
-
My setup is..
18002832210ppp3ppp2ppp1p1pppp(ordernumber#)
Now you can adjust the pauses to be a little longer or shorter by adding another one.
I set mine up like that to make sure when the IVR is switching me over, there was adequate time before my phone dialed the next set of numbers.
Now I just hit my speed dial and it's off and dialing itself.. Very nice... :-D -
I doubt the boxing stage will take more than 3 days, they want to get those laptops out so that people can review them and they can get good publicity for them, and they want to satisfy the everyone who has ordered one already
