    its next day shipping ,it must have just updated because i called the status line a half hour ago and was still in boxing and now is in shipping so no tracking # yet, and i cant see the invoice either, it is saying though it estimates my delivery tomorrow but i dont know if i would see that happening as it shipped so late, would be nice to have a tracking # at this point to know if its dhl or fedex.

    That's BS. I ordered mine on 5/15 with simlar specs. The only difference is the LED screen. Mine is still in build with an original ESD of 6/2. Dell service sucks.

    So it is still in the "build" stage. It's not shipping tomorrow. Yes, Dell service sucks. Anything else you want to know? When I get my delayed e-mail I will post it for YOU to read.

    Edit: It went from "build" to "kitting" now its going backwords. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

    I guess you should expect to have that date blown off by Dell.

    Well mine has been in testing since this morning. I just got the dreaded delay e-mail from Dell at 12:53 pm. My new ESD is June 6 (D-DAY). Hopefully it will ship before then. It would be nice if it showed up on Friday. I'll be out of town working all next week.

    Edit: As promised to masterchef341
