    Not anymore they aren't.... The Limerick factory was closed. EU orders are now built at the Lodz, Poland facility.

    Are you following the Dell website on the daily basis too? :D

    There's some great offers at the moment. For instance, I can get a SXPS 16 with a T9900 3.06GHz processor, 6GB DDR3 RAM (64-Bit Vista), 256GB SSD, Blu-Ray Burner and a RGBLED screen all for only ~€1,400! This configuration would have been over €2k a couple of weeks ago! It's just such a shame the only thing missing is the HD 4670. I'm even getting impatient now so I've sent off an e-mail to Dell to see if they'll give me any information.

    One thing I did notice though is that the SXPS systems (UK/Ireland) are not on the list of computers eligible for the Windows 7 upgrade. The €250 Vostro machines are even eligible, why isn't a €1.5k SXPS system eligible??

    Wow, I really envy all you people who can get T9900s and ATi 4670s in their countries lol. Still waiting and checking dell.ca daily for those options to come here.

    No region has both of those. UK has the T9900 but the US has the 4670. You could always buy an aftermarket CPU, can't do that with the GPU though. Of course those of you with 3670 SXPS 16's may want to give Dell spare parts a call and see when or if they will get the 4670 based motherboards in. It will probably cost about $550 but hey at least it's an option.
