mw86 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 This delay I had was back from June into mid July and since then everything should be well in stock so ordering red should be no prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawhide85 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 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.__________________Alienware M18x Space Black, Intel Core i7 2920XM OC, 6GB DDR3, Dual 6990M CF, 750GB HD, Win 7 Pro, Blu-ray Reader, Killer Wireless-N 1103, WirelessHD Transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Founder Michael Posted September 21, 2011 Founder Share Posted September 21, 2011 @Radio47fool 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
