    I will FINALLY be ordering my 1720 this evening or tomorrow. After a lot of research and the pricing of numerous configurations, I just configured this system for only $1,214! Let me know what you think (no, I don't need the 8600 GT Video Card):

    SYSTEM COLOR: Jet Black
    PROCESSOR: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache)
    OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
    DISPLAY: High Resolution, glossy widescreen 17.0 inch display (1920 x 1200)
    VIDEO CARD: 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS
    MEMORY: 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
    HARD DRIVE: 160GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
    OPTICAL DRIVE: CD / DVD writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)
    WIRELESS NETWORK CARDS: Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini-Card
    BLUETOOTH OPTIONS: Built-in Bluetooth capability (2.0 EDR)
    INTEGRATED WEBCAM: Integrated 2.0 Megapixel Webcam
    BATTERY OPTIONS: 56Whr Lithium Ion Battery (6 cell)
    SOUND OPTIONS: High Definition Audio 2.0

    Base Price = $1,514 - $300 coupon
    Final Price = $1,214

    I actually upgraded a few components (Bluetooth & Display), while still yielding the best price I've ever seen yet!

    Very nice. I want a 1520 so badly, but the grainy screen epidemic is making me nervous.

    If they replace it with another grainy screen... just tell them to get another. They are right there next to you, just tell em that its still bad.

    Is it really true that if my screen is messed up, they send a guy to my house? I thought you had to send it in for repair.
