    Yes....yet ANOTHER inspiron owner.....well, I thought I might as well post my specs.....after all I am more than a little excited....This lappy soooo kicks my home comps a$$

    I just ordered.....then got smart and cancelled and reordered a dell i9400. On the reorder I managed to snagg a printer *snorrrrr* media remote (useless since I got XP pro) and a 100GB 7200 RPM hard drive vs the 80GB in my cancelled order, all for $200 less......gotta keep on top of Dell 200buck is 200buck.... :eek:)

    Anyhow I ordered the following:
    i9400 Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16Gh Proc
    Nvidia 7900GS
    100gb 7200 RPM HDD
    2GB 533 Ram (the faster stuff ain't worth it)
    17" WUXGA+ TrueLife
    DVDburner
    Intel Pro Internal Wireless
    Purchased at futureshop: Logitech G7 mouse
    Kensington Numberpad/Calculator

    I am very excited. it's estimating 21st Sept for completion. Seems like a long time vs other crap I have ordered from them. Anyone know why the longer build time?
