    Hi guys. I was looking for M18x with dual 6990's on ebay and on NBR. So on nearly a month ago on ebay I saw one Reseller Shop. Site is KrazyDiskount.com. It has fair prices. I have chosen the configuration on Alienware site and sent it them. You can look and decide by yourself

    Did they offer you the Razer mouse too?? I tried getting the mouse included and was told they didn't offer them. :rolleyes:

    I bought 2 systems from there already, the 3rd one I had a lil space to resell it and make some bucks :)

    Nope.They didn't.I haven't asked because actually if I will have money, my resources will be scarce. And I will not find additional money for Razer Mouse.
    So we have some positive feedback about this site. Who wants Alienware with discount but haven't got discount coupon, can go to this site. If an M18X R2 will not offer too much differencies, I will give a try for this site too.

    You will need to check first if your country's customs control aren't going to hold you item on arrival for heavy Duty taxes.

    I was told its taxed based on their location if they are shipping to other countries. so a NY tax, 8.875? something like that. also not scamish, i received both of mines with tracking from dell, awaiting my third so i can resell. still cheaper than dell if you ask me.

    Sorry Kongrad, it looks like I am unable to help out on the forum since my previous post was deleted with no explanation.

    If any one has any further questions, just keep contacting us through our support email and we'll respond accordingly.

    Have a nice day.
