    So i got $100CAD credit.... no system upgrades
    My order date was 08-02
    My first Estimated delivery date was 09-03
    So now they say parts will not arrive until 09-17...WTF!??
    Regular Price 1,598.00+tax = $1821.72

    less $409 savings with your online purchase.
    less 15% Discount through the Dell Employee Purchase Program
    less $100 Credit for delays.....


    Should I still wait??... Total price for my system with credit comes to $1050CAD

    No he's saying that it is ridiculous that your are asking the question since you got the system at half price. The other guy was saying that if you don't want to wait, don't. Ultimately, I am saying that you are foolish if you cannot determine whether you want to wait for a product and must consult anonymous people online to think for you. You got a great deal on a good product. If you want to wait, wait. If you don't, don't.
