    Tell us what you think when you get it. I think people have been happy with them so far.

    I just ordered a very similar machine. Only difference in mine is I got the 1.83GHz processor. I ordered it on Friday at 5PM and on he dell site it says it is all built and tested.... I bet they box and ship it tomorrow *crosses fingers*

    Grats on your purchase, I hope we are both satisfied customers.

    Mine spent 3 days in "boxing" because I'm told that's when it travels to the US. Once it's on a truck here, it will go unto "shipping."

    Yeah, it takes 3 days in shipping (shipped from Malaysia to Tennesse if you are living in the US). Then it could take as much as 24 hours to show up on your carrier's tracking because it has to travel from Tennesse to the regional carrier center via 3rd party.

    Good luck with the purchase Eliwood. Hope you enjoy it.

    Was hoping it'd be sent tomorrow.... well, at least it looks to be shipped a little earlier than their expected ship date.

    Wow, 2 years! Congrats to you. Judging by those specs, your machine was worth a wait.
