wbabt007 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Did Mw86 order his m18X? I would love to see his order it seemed that he was building a speed demon. I only ask because I haven't seen and update to his signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielZ Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Did anyone's status go to 'In Production' yet? Mine's still processing but I had to delay my payment to 3 days, today being the third. The backpack already shipped through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabt007 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes , mine went into production 3 hours after we place the order, backpack was shipped will be here on the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 6, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted May 6, 2011 Been in production since I ordered. I bet mine will hit boxing stage in a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL Brian keep on dreaming, If your rig actually hits boxing in a day or two be sure that I will come to Modesto with torches and pitchforks for real(and remember I am not that far from your homebase). You been warned!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Darling Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Brian, did the preliminary ship date say somewhere around 5/24 for you? That's what it was when I ordered it and I find it quite strange that it takes over 20 days to build a computer when they have no shortage of parts.

I've had computers arrive 10 business days before their EDD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preliminary ship date says 5/24 on the phone order status with NBD shipping so I'm guessing I should have it in my hands very soon. Last time when I was one of the first to get the new revised M17x-R3, I got it in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielZ Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Gah, such a mess to get this order in. $3000 limit on credit sucks, delaying payments sucks, changing up cards for the last amount sucks, hopefully my shipping date will be near June so I have a computer to get back home to. Edit: 'In Production' now, EDD 6/7. Hope it's faster! Edited May 6, 2011 by GabrielZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e46justice Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 my edd is 6/1i believe it. I wasn't in the first wave like brain. I ordered on day three so its prob a 2 month back order lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Darling Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks, I am hoping for an early arrival. However, Dell had cancelled my order on the first day and I had to call the next day and talk to some Japanese lady for hours - it took her 15 FULL minutes to understand what I wanted on my nameplate, Darling, L...simple enough, but not for her. Hopefully that won't hinder my ship date too much, I would be devastated haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic I really hope you are right and Alienware surprises us in a nice way and we get our machines way before the Delivery date, mine jumped to the 31's.

Founder Brian Posted May 6, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted May 6, 2011 It should be very close to the 60 hz M17x-R3 screen but not as dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
