    Yay i got email from Australia Alienware that my new Alienware Area 51 Desktop was shipped out of Miami last night but it is getting sent directly to Alienware Australia to be checked inside out.

    This is good news how ever it is causing further unwanted delays :( but then again i am happy that Alienware Australia is checking my computer out first before I get it.

    Alienware Australia is making sure i don't get bad experience like the way Austin Computers has given us. I have totally stopped buying any thing from Austin Computers and going to register a business name so that i could buy direct from their wholesalers to save money and head aches.

    Man i cant wait for it - it's my Christmas Present I bought for myself :p

    Gonna post some pictures of it soon guys :)

    Congratz.
    Just so you know, Alienware Australia will probably stick their stickers on the machine and plug in the power supply to see if it actually turn on for you as the process of "check inside out". Common practice.

    Good luck.

    Ahh didn't know that thanks for the info ;)

    Gonna give you rep for that now i am happy Alienware Australia is making sure my new computer actually works before i receive it.

    By the way will i lose power and performance if it is using Australian power? The reason why i ask this is because this is the cause of many Guitar Amps not working 100% when switching to Australian Power Unit.
