Is it normal for Dell to take over 3 weeks to ship a new PC?

I ordered a new Dell Dimension 8200, Windows XP, P4 1.7Ghz, 256MB RDram, GeForce 2 MX (will replace with R8500), DVD Rom, CD/RW on Sept. 29th. My ship date is the 22nd of this month! Why does it take them so long to make a PC? Anyone else experience this long a wait? Thanks,
 
Dell uses just in time inventory, meaning they don't keep parts on hand. If they are missing parts, suppliers are behind etc. it can take some time. With what is going on these days including disruption of shipping etc., they could be a bit slow.
 
I ordered an 8200 around the same time, and my ship date is the 22nd too. It may have to do with not being able to ship XP before that.
 
I ordered a Radeon 8500 from Dell, on oct. 7, and its not gonna be shipped until the 15th. Boo. So I would guess this is normal.
