    I haven't been tracking these guys before now. But it appears they slipped in before the big Alienware release on the 19th http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/071116/20071116005612.html?.v=1

    Maybe some of this will get Clevo to be a little more forthcoming with their systems.

    You can spec out a a PCMW with a Quad 6750 and dual 8800GTX SLi, 4GB, and 200 Gb HD, ++++ for just over $4000 Visit their site and get the skinny for yourself

    Oh Well....Pop goes the Weazel.

    My initial searches did not turn up anything so I went ahead and posted. Upon getting back into the forums, I encountered that some other heathen had struck first. Regardless, still good news and still sticks a finger in eye of Alienware and Clevo resellers that can't/won't move this fast with definitive information.

    Official word from Nvidia, and the numerous resellers/vendors should appear within the next day or so. :)

    As excited as we all are for the 8800m GTX SLI, listen to Gophn; it will come soon enough.

    Pioneer Computers in Australia have been offering the 8800m GTX for many months now (no, seriously) and I can't tell you how frustrating it is when a reseller talks up and cant deliver. In case you are curious (check out the precis at the top of the page):

    Nah, mate.

    Apart from the fact I've lost all confidence in them having been messed around, as you say, they are very expensive. I priced up a 9261 (to us thats the D900c I think) and it was $6200 ( http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/configure.asp?c1=3&c2=15&id=2218). At p4 laptops, ( http://www.p4laptops.com.au/order-d900c.htm) it was nearly $1000 cheaper. If they mark up like that, imagine what their customer service might be like :mad: The US resellers seem cheaper still, particularly with the current strength of the Aussie Dollar. But to salary sacrifice, I think we need a GST invoice. I dont think US resellers can offer this, but if that's untrue (or we dont need a GST invoice - I'll check this out at work tomorrow), happy to find out otherwise...
