    My 1520 Blue, T7300, 1440x900 w/ WEBCAM, 2GB, 160GB, 8400GS system was in testing this morning. I called in and literally jumped for joy hearing something different than the build stage. I called in just now, and it already moved into the boxing stage. Ordered 7/8.

    I just thought this was some significant info. since I'm waiting on a blue, 1440x900 with webcam, one of the MOST backordered configurations.

    Yeah, farelli, I know you're in the same boat as me, so expect that yours should progress soon.

    I was surprised - after so long tracking it you feel like it'll never move!

    I've got the 8600 NVidia but I don't think there has been a delay on that. I ordered on 7/16 so hopefully my status will change soon to something other than build. Time to break out the rosary beads and light a few candles.

    Come on, if you've only waited since the 23rd, you have no reason to get pissed off ... yet.

    I definitely think a small shipment of 1440x900 blue covers w/ webcams came in and they're filling the early July orders. So, good for us with that specific configuration.
