    haha don't worry about it man, just forget about it and it will come soon enough. I didn't even call yesterday, just checked this morning before taking the ACT. The idea that my lappy is boxing helped get me through the test :D, seriously though, people who ordered thru an agent seem to get things done faster and like I said, my agent even contacted me to tell me that he is trying to get my order expedited. Really workin for the commission :D

    I ordered a M1730 about a month ago and it took 7 days to get to me from the time I ordered. So yes, should be faster but you never know.

    Anyone do any special prep for the arrival? I just painted my den and shampooed the carpets. I also setup a new speaker system and have my new proc waiting to be installed. I'm all set, until I think of something else. :D

    We should all open them together like Christmas morning!!! Oh wait..you "expletives" who ordered them over the phone will get them before. Still bitter. But if someone who was cool lived around me I would open them at same time. Btw mandrake add candles(make sure not too close to laptop) and good call on booze.

    lol, yeah I thought that to and it was the basement. I spent $20K building it out and now I have to move to the den. She turned one section into a playroom and the other into an entertainment area. Get it in writing! LOL!

    Chatted with XPS sales rep and he re-assured me that nothing on my order was backordered and it was just the regular "build time" that was taking a while.

    So what you're saying is that anyone that ordered thru a Rep got moved to the front of the queue because of the commision. While those that ordered thru the web got moved back. Well, if that's the case, they can go to hell and I'll cancel my order. I will not allow them to screw over me like they are sleey0 and some others. I'll give them a couple more days.

    Not exactly.

    You see, when you order online it takes a little be longer to process the order (a day or two).

    When you are ordering with a rep, I believe they process payment right then and there so the order goes straight to manufacturing.

    For all you guys in boxing, I can almost guarantee you that your tracking numbers will appear later tonight.

    It seems everytime I ordered a system thru Dell the tracking info showed up late sunday (10pm - midnight).

    +rep if I'm right!!!!
