    PC Microworks is still a little pricey. The same PC can be configured at Eurocom for like $500 less.

    What!!!! are you serious?

    I just paid for mine last Saturday! And I didn't get the same price reduction at US$500 :(

    Admittedly, I got in just in time for the free upgrade on the dual SLI 8800M GTX, so maybe this is in response to the free upgrade term expiring possibly?

    EDIT: Ok, i see, phew :)

    Yeah, this is a great deal for those that missed out on the free upgrade, basically, you only pay a fraction more than what you would have if you pre-ordered the last couple of weeks. These guys have done a fantastic deal, and it is still priced very favourably with the extreme performace they offer. As Crazy Habib mentioned, get in this week and place and order while you can!! (Don't forget to get the 3 year diamond plus warranty cover program that allows you wholesale upgrades on all future parts for your uber laptop!!)
