    Dell estimated shipping date would be today 07/31/07
    Email received stating delay.
    New Shipping Date is 08/07/07

    I called twice and have been told two different versions: Delay is caused by by Anti Glare monitor and other was the processor is back order. Some of the posts here are stating that the delay is due to the graphics card. Dont know what to believe. I would like my system now but it is not life or death. Below is the system I ordered and price received. I dont have any coupons but believe now if I cancel my order and re-order, I will save $$$. One rep said maybe around $100.00. Is the below system work the price?

    Thoughts , assistance , suggestion..... fire away
    Thanks

    You can try getting compensation for your wait... and get a better deal (or maybe a coupon or something).

    The delay is the "spring green" color not the graphics card.
