    I have my eyes set on a lotus. I was wondering what discounts and promo codes were available? I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on any savings before I complete the order. I also have a copy of windows 7 home premium already so I wanted to know if all I need to do is insert the disk and install. If it's too technical, I'll just order it with a copy of windows 7 instead of installing it myself.

    Hi, you need 5 posts and then you can send us a PM and we'll give you all of the codes we currently have available including one which will give you Price Protection for the entire Holiday Season!

    Basically, here's how it works - if you place an order and the price decreases anytime up until December 31st, 2011 - we will refund the difference back to you - so you're guaranteed to get the best deal no matter when you buy. :)

    Yes that's pretty much all you have to do, installing windows is much easier nowadays. Once the OS is installed you just need to install the drivers for your hardware to work correctly (drivers usually come in a CD from the manufacturer/reseller)

    Sounds good, I'm weighing options between Xotic/Malibal and LPC as well.

    Hi Malibal,

    I'm also interested in ordering a Satori P170HM3 - actually reordering, since I was one of the Kobalt "casualties"...

    How do you handle European warranties? And since Nvidia presented the new 3D Glasses v2, when do you guys plan to offer it - perhaps I should skip the current goggles, and order them later?

    Best, Jay

    I've been in contact with Malibal for the last week or so refining my order which I just placed. I found the customer service to be honest and informative. Barring anything disastrous happening through delivery, they've gained a new loyal customer. Thanks, Malibal.

    Placed my order just seconds ago. Can't wait to get it! I got overnight shipping with rushed build time. I need to get a load of homework assignments done. My gateway can't even stay on for 10 minutes and my netbook just doesn't cut it. lol

    Does the price protection applys to all orders that have been placed recently with or without the code?

    Quick! You should definitely ask them to help you out on that via PM, email, or phone. They're quite accommodating.
