    it's 40 days because they have to wait for the ones they sold to fail, so they can referb then and re-sell them :p

    Yes... but... I guess they were wrong lol.

    Someone said something about them using the GPUs from the returned E1705s... and because they can't predict how many returns they will get, they probablly say 40 days just to be on the safe side.

    Also its only been out for 2 days. The reason mine was built so quickly is probably because I ordered it shortly after it became available. If you are going to get it, I suggest you do it asap.

    I ordered mine about an hour after it became available, and it is now in the boxing phase...Obviously there was no delay...

    Uhhh... if it's a returned e1705 they can't sell you the video card out of it as new. It must be sold as a refurb by law. These have to be new GPUs, so more likely they don't know when nVidia will fulfill their order.
