Ordered 7/18 with a EDD of 7/29. As of today 6:00 EST still shows "In Production". I have called Dell EPP reps on 3 occasions, including yesterday, and they still expect a 7/29 ship N(BD). I still don't beleive it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

2920XM + 6990Ms

you can guess what I want to see right? :D

Can you say benches. Ordered 7/18, EDD 7/29, Delayed, EDD 8/4

Never done any benching but need to stress my system to check GPU temps and stability, so I will be running some for sure. Actually started a thread to ask for advice without much response.

Well some use the Alienrespawn to backup the factory image before reformatting.

I personally think it's a waste of time because there isn't anything on the factory image that can't be re-done with a fresh windows install.

I usually reformat and reinstall from scratch immediately, others stay with the factory image and just update the drivers etc since it's not very bloated.

Basically - your preference.
