    Placed my order 2/18/15 for the Sager NP8651. Decided to go with the IC Diamond, 2 year warranty, no HDD / RAM, no branding, IPS upgrade, and the Killer NIC.

    2/18 - Order Placed
    2/19 - Bank Wire Transfer
    2/20 - Payment Cleared
    2/20 - Phase 1
    2/23 - Phase 2
    2/24 - Shipped, ETA 2/27

    So far so good, only annoyance was my rural bank giving me the whole "Buying online is dangerous!" lecture for like 15 - 20 minutes.

    Right? Now comes the hard part, staring at the extras I've bought and waiting on Sager lol. I hear this is the slow season so maybe that will work in my favor.

    We have seen build times much quicker lately. Once you get the phase 2 email it usually ships that day or the following. We get tracking information the day after it ships and will provide that asap.

    Got my NP8651 yesterday and installed the aftermarket parts I had ordered. The hardest part was being careful not to scratch the back panel. All is well so far, no complaints other than the sticky space bar that some have mentioned. Seems to go away after a little usage though.
