Founder StamatisX Posted November 17, 2011 Founder Share Posted November 17, 2011 You should definitely call them, it is very likely you will get a nice discount or at least the backpack, shipping or something else for free. If you don't want to deal with reps and decide to order online you can check for coupons here I think in the last page at mw86's post there is coupon with 10% discount. With 2 Alienwares in the house I would be excited too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sargent Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Will be getting/cashing then putting into our account the settlement money on the 16th!!! I hope to have our order placed that same night. I got a little better deal then my list above. 8GB ram and 20% off my gpu. Dropped the wifi hd so I can purchase an SSD and still be about the price listed above. I wonder if it will be shipped in time for christmas? The wife is excited not about hers but that my dream machine will finally be mine. I just can't wait to get off this stupid tablet. I could write a long story about living a year with just a tablet and no pc or phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your really going to love it!I have a feeling you'll fit in just fine here, you seem like a really cool guy, and i hope everything works out for you! thanks, have been into computers now for 35+ years, love gaming and talking with others about computers. little rough around the edges since I got out but for the most part been a computer geek my whole life. and seriously can't wait to get my hands on the beast. Semi scared it will have some defect but if my luck holds out (knocks on wood) then I will get another machine without issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sargent Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 12 hours or so since order was placed and in production! Thought I would stick with updates here instead of in each machines order status sticky thread. 41 and I feel like a kid waiting on santa, even think I had a dream about our aliens. Still need to shop for a mouse and pick up some blank dvds for the back-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Haha. On the backups... I found it most convenient to make a backup on another hard drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sargent Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I was getting dvds for the back up to restore to factory for both machines. Was wondering could I put the back ups on flash drives? 2 thumb drives would be faster etc and just easier. Or does alienware give you discs to restore the system?

Staff Sargent Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 That's only if she lets me touch it lol, its going to the first computer that's truly hers. I was told they would call me today with an update on the builds so maybe will get good news on getting mine. Both machines start with a ship date of the 28th then hers went to 22nd now it should be here the 20th. So hoping mine gets bumped up at least a few days. I also have a smartphone coming via,fedex today so I have a new toy for something to do lol. We have almost 12 packages coming this week and next spent mad money this past few days.

mw86 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Very nice Staff Sergeant i hope it ships for you soon. i'm sure although her laptop is her laptop you will be there helping along as its set up the first time. These companies always add on 3rd party "crap-ware" lol. I'm waiting on a call from repair service i'm guessing by now it will be tomorrow. I would game on IGP while GPU's aren't working but its in pieces waiting on the new cards and I figured why put it together to have the tech open it again before ultimately putting it back together again... the plastic tabs on palm rest etc cant take the constant opening and closing....

Staff Sargent Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Mw86, good luck with the repair. The wife and I will both be unboxing the m14. I will help her though all the setup and checking to make sure all is in order and nothing wrong with the build. Will also show her how to do a basic cleaning.Talked with dell last night my machine is in final stages so I might get lucky and see it by friday doubt it but I can hope.

Staff Sargent Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 The m14 showed up today, not even 30sec after getting in the hoise my tablet alerted me to email, my m17 is with fedex will be here tomorrow afternoon. The 14 what little time I have used it seems like a sweet machine. She will be very happy! I am very excited to see mine will be here before christmas and I don't have to look at the m14 long before mine gets here. Already have battlefield 3 and COD MW3 waiting to get installed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
