Let's hope the wife doesnt kill me now LOL

Doesn't seem like a bad price at all. Most I've seen with those features are a bit more expensive..

always easier to ask forgiveness than permission ;) lol

Update - it STILL has not shipped

My estimated arrival date has been moved up from the 23rd to the 20th, yet no tracking information is available.

I have to say, Dell needs to step up! I ordered on 8-5 and it has taken this long to build? Hire more people or send me the parts and I will build it myself! I really hate waiting this long for stuff.

If I go to McDonald's and they say it will take 3 hours for my Big Mac, I would leave. Sux Dell had the awesome 12 month no interest financing or I would have canceled already and bought elsewhere.

Well I got it yesterday. It is fast too.

I hate the case - fingerprints right when you touch it, attracts dust like it has a vacuum built in it lol

I want to run some speed tests on it but was curious which would be the most beneficial to use. I also was curious if I should set the low cpu point to 100% for the 5% it is set at now to run the tests.

PCMark 05 is currently the standard along with 3DMark Vantage performance preset -can also use superpi for single threaded speed and wprime for multithreaded

while your at it, take screenshots with CPUz and upload to the HWBot ;)
