Looks good.

I am LOL about the 9-cell he "threw in". Did he make it seem like he was doing something special/extra for you?

Dell has a promotion right now and it includes a free battery upgrade...

 

haha yeah i just found that out... this is from a while ago, maybe before the promotion? who cares haha its a great price!

 

Grat's on your purchase...don't worry so about what you coulda had..Unless, you want to call and attempt to *haggle* over that.
You got a good deal!
When is your ESD?


Cin.

 

haha thanks! on or before august fourth! dying right now haha

 

The thing with the ESD..it's usually over estimated...that protects Dell from any potential delays during production (back order, etc).

So there is a good chance it could very well ship before the ESD!
Right now just try and relax a bit...The waiting is the hardest part!
Look at accessories for your lappy, watch unboxing vid's, spend time on the forum checking out applications you may want to put on your lappy, etc..

hahaha yeah i'm most certainly watching every youtube video.... i may be on my third pass hahahaha. Do you have any info as to which cooling stand is the best bang for the buck? i hear this bad boy gets toasty. What laptop do you have?

 

Here is a good thread for you to check out:
Notebook Coolers : A Buyers Guide
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=304671

It is rock awesome, informative! I know several peeps have the Zalman for their SXPS.

I have the XPS 1530 (need to put my specs back into my siggy) ...I'm actually looking at getting a Cooler. Haven't decided which one. I made a thread ~ have to go back and look at the latest on that...

Cin...

 

thanks so much for the help! haha i'm going through right now.. i don't want to spend anything more than the $20-$30 price range... i wasted it all on the computer itself haha.

 

Yeah its a good thread...You may be able to find something decently priced on ebay, or even newegg, etc..you just have to search the *net* for bargains!

Cin.

 

i'm 90% decided on the notepal x2. It has pretty damn good reviews and the video on youtube proved to me that it was quiet and looked pretty good. You'll have to let me know what you decide on!

 

I use the infinite. Not the x2 version though. Don't believe what people say, it's pretty loud, except if you have it on the lowest setting. In fact it's louder than the fan on my Inspiron when it's at full speed.

Works a treat though at cooling the machines I put on it, so I can live with the noise. I've usually got music playing anyhow.
