LOL I just got off the phone with Dell. I had used some Computer Associates EZ Trust Firewall that was free after mir, except after reading the rebate I wouldn't qualify lol. So I called and found out actually that the software shipped out today and the vid card should be shipping out Monday. So I'm able to refuse delivery on the software and still be able to use the coupon on the vid card. I dunno if I'm going to be keeping the vid card though but if someone really wants it and wasn't able to get in on the deal lemme know so if I do decide I don't want it, you can buy it off me it'll most likely be unopened cause I dont actually have anything to put it in yet (building new comp 😛)

I'm willing to buy it from you for $350 cash. PM me if you're interested.
 
Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow by DHL. It was also shipped on the 12th.

The other part of my order is supposed to get here today, a dell usb keyboard. I recently checked the order status and its changed into a french/canadian keyboard, even though the original item description mentions nothing about it. $16 for a french keyboard. I love dell.
 
Got mine, the box is REALLY bad (entire side crunched in like someone sat on it). I'm almost afraid to open it. Would Dell send me a new one before I test it? Or should I test it out first.
 
I would say just open it and examine it if anything looks broken call them to have them replace it... although you might have to wait a little (if you haven't noticed all the people getting delayed orders etc 😛 ). If its just the box that is busted up, no point in sending it back and waiting to get another one.

I had a couple of orders. They split my filler items into one order and the cards into two separate ones or something. I got the two filler items today and two delay emails for the cards. It might just be the filler item you bought (if you did buy one).
 
Mine got shipped on Friday from TX and got here today along with my filler. Good luck to the rest of you guys. I'll test mine out when I get some time, hopefully the damage to the box is superficial.

Nice.

I didn't mean to make it sound like you were stupid or anything. 🙂

I've never had any luck with the Dell status page telling me anything worthwhile (hell I'll already have the package and the status page will say something like being prepared or something). Maybe I should check what mine says.

Ok, thats all sorts of messed up. They split one of the orders as 3 separate ones, only one is the filler item and a card and the others are the filler item and the card separate. The one I can't tell if its shipped or not and the other says the card is delayed.

I dunno. I'll just have to wait and see.

Must have been shipped via DHL??? I recently ordered from Dell and it came in 2 shippments from different parts of the country. One came last week and one today. Both boxes were in pretty bad shape and looked as if they had been opened after leaving Dell.

LOL! Yah, DHL. I can just imagine the guy drop kicking it to my door.

:disgust:
 
*sigh* i hope DHL doesnt deliver my package... the last two packages they delivered they just left on the side of my garage didnt even bother to ring. no clue it arrived until I randomly walked past it 😛
 
no idea... i'd hope a 300 dollar item requires a signature... the last two packages.. were a replacement speaker satallite and some software. I live on a pretty busy street but not much foot traffic thankgod. but if I'd venture a guess as to whos responsible... probably me unless I whine enough 😛
 
510 area code = I'm afraid to walk over there. LoL.. if htey leave stuff there itw ill get ultra stolen.

UPS left my antec case box right at the front door. So big, and in t he retail box... brilliant guys.
 
lol... 510 isnt bad... just some bad parts.. ie Richmond... parts of Oakland... but Pinole is getting worst now. Yea lucky its summer and I'm pretty much home all the time, as long as they fraeken ring the door bell and let me know something is there.
 
Recieved mine yesterday, it arrived with my french keyboard. Awesome. no \ and no ? among other keys not there.

Anyways, the box was badly beat up, but the card worked fine.

Read the Hard review of the card. They managed a little better I believe, but what you have is getting close to GTX speed, homey.
 
Uh oh... mine is shipping DHL too lol. I'm gonna call and see if I can't get them to make sure they atleast ring the door bell when they come lol. Hopefully it comes next day air...
