Can someone answer a question for me: early in the thread someone said the inventory is updated at :48 past the hour. Is this still the case? I kept hitting refresh a few min. prior to :48, and there were still the same 3 systems showing. Then at around :47, there were suddenly 20 systems available. Then I immediatly hit refresh and it was back down to 3 left. Then at :58 I hit refresh again, and now all of a sudden there are 50 systems available? What is going on here?
Commecnt on this please, did I get a deal. I really just want the x850xt pe
thanks

I believe most of the dumps most of the time occur mostly between :32 and :55. (OK, it just means that I do not know for sure.
)The :32 dumps might be abandoned shopping cart expirations. Lately, there seems to be a lot of scripting activity because of the availability of coupons, publicity (this thread and another one on FW).
A low average level of script users is combined with the fact that Dell has been trying to REALLY clean out their inventory. As a result, the inventory levels are often out of wack - Dell dumps often breaking the "standard" :48 dump pattern, and newbie scripters' scripts are mal-adjusted wiping the inventory into later abandoned shopping carts.
Just my uneducated opinion.
I had it in my cart last night and then I got that mysterious error that contact dell and it disappeared from my cart. But I think its a real bargain.

If I wasn't searching for a system for a friend this would be too hysterical. I'm watching the 4700 drop this past hour and it's going along, about 10 systems in the list. A sub 300$ system comes up and all 10 systems disappear on the next refresh.
Talk about poor proxy scripts.

Just kiddin'. Noone has, and no one will, send me one.
The saga continues..... So after 1 1/2 hours on the phone with India last night I was really no better off then when I started. I filled out the transfer form but could not schedule to get the machine fixed until the "system updated". I called tonight and spoke with someone else after getting a very confusing e-mail from Dell. I sent in a "displeasure" e-mail more just to get it off my chest. The reply stated that they had clasified my system as LOST (sound famiar bamacre ?).
It turns out that they had "forgotten" 2 digits on the end of the UPS tracking number on my invoice and when they tried to track the system it came back as an invalid number. So they marked it as lost. Well, the person I spoke with tonight seems to know what they are doing but I have to wait another 24 hours to find out. Hopefully tomorrow night I can call Tech support, verify that teh drive is bad (again) and get someone out here to fix it.
You know, if I hadn't picked this up for $150 this would all really suck.
