    ...and with the knowledge that the M17x will probably be the hottest, easiest to resell laptop out for 2009!

    Yeah, and it's going to suck when they deliver it. It will be eye-balling me the whole time until I open it or ship it back.

    If it had left this morning like you and i both thought, we would both be getting ours at the same time Biscuits . i guess this is where the Next day part comes in for me as it will get sorted off the truck/plane faster based on that .

    I wont lie though and say im not happy anymore that i paid the extra because i guess it paid off in this instance.

    Bah just seems stupid it is all about priority.. they could easily deliver it tomorrow, as it will be flown there and in store, but they won't deliver till next day.. I wonder if they will let me pick it up?

    No they dont let you pick things up until the end of the first day of a missed delivery. But it never hurts to try as what do you have to lose ?

    Because mine actually has the same shipping as your just not the priority and that is what frustrates me... basically they are saying oh hey I'll actualyl bring it to you when it get's here, if you pay the company more...

    Point being why didn't I pay the extra 20... the wait is killing me!

    I understand Biscuits , if you check back in this thread there were quite a few people(maybe even you) who said i could have saved the money and bought something else with it and they were ok with waiting an extra day lol.

    I have ordered so many things through the mail in my life that i know when it hits the FEDEX/UPS facility locally is when i start freaking out the most and its why i almost always get Overnight unless its just free shipping like a game or something of that nature.

    Next time Overnight even if it doesnt work out on your behalf like i explained has happened to me in the past .

    It says 22nd by 7:00 pm... I was just hoping you know...

    Wait a minute maybe I'm still groggy but doesn't that mean my package actually shipped earlier than it was before...?

    If you got your tracking number on Sunday and you paid for 2nd business day it should come tomorrow like the FedEx site says. Looking forward to your unboxing. I'm sure it will be entertaining. Even my wife was laughing at the Clauss boxing/unboxing vid, I expect yours to be better. ;)

I am just getting excited ( darn a piece of plastic that would enable me to work even more....I guess i am a twisted induvidual) but i am happy to see that my new toy/tool getting closer to me :)

    Haha no . I will need some time for inspection :) . Ill be tossing in the CPU and harddrive right after everything checks out, then start the overclocking process if the CPU works as im hoping . Then it will be the rest of the day installing games etc.

    i have to swap over the 500gig from the stock 250 till i get that second harddrive bracket so acronis etc there. itll be a whole day of just doing stuff but no fun time till then :). Well it will be fun but not the same kind.

    I wont have any numbers up for atleast a day or so id imagine.

    I was going to sleep in this morning but got a call at 9:21am :(.

    just do a new install on the 500GB disk. Not worth the time to re-image it.

    Imaging it would be much faster actually TBH .

    Ill dump the image to my external HD and plug in the new one and voila be up and running in probably less then an hour.

    If i do the disk method and have to reinstall all those exe files from the applications disk those usually take forever.

    But then again you have done it so im only going by all the past machines i have had .

    Mine has a tracking number but FedEx just says they received the info yesterday at 04:30 but it never shows it was picked up. It may be that I was cheap and went with 3-5 day shipping. They still have an estimated delivery of the 22nd. I don't expect that. At least it is built and is in the country.
