    So eager to own one. The dell chat advisor said to send me quote within 12hrs.
    Hope he can really give me a good price. He's a friend of friend of my friend.
    I only changed the display to 1600x900. Cost me 30usd. The rest are default.
    Ordered it along with a monitor. Total cost me about 3000usd. Let's see how much he will quote for me tomorrow.

    Hope to get 15% off. That will be 450usd off, making it 2550usd. Have to increase my budget by 50usd to 2550usd. Sigh why i earn so little and everything cost so much. LOL.

    Anyone knows how long will it take to build and ship once order and payment is done?

    Where are you located and why would the monitor jump the price to 3k?

    Could have been a U2711 or something. Didn't think they were that expensive though.

    pretty sure if you ordered the first day, the m14x and m11 r3's weren't shipping until like 5/12. right now i think it's still estimating the 12th to begin shipping. here in the US anyways
