    I'm planning in getting either a Sager or an Alienware on December 1st and the build I want on the M17x under the EPP is going to run me roughly $1.9K. I'm wondering how far do you think I could talk the price down or how far you've heard of someone talking the price down. Because really I don't see myself paying all that extra for some flashy case lights.

    7-10% epp is about all you will get....ymmv...but, thats the going rate. You should get free shipping without any hassle also.

    What is EPP? I'm lucky in the fact that I'm in the military and was able to get tax free on it, saved me approximately $400 and free shipping.

    I would expect a holiday coupon to be released so no talking will be necessary. ;)
