New Dell 1730 Dual 8800GTX beast

Hugest_UK · 6 Apr 2008 at 09:46

Hi,

Bad news. Just had an e-mail from Dell and my estmated delivery has been been moved from the 9th to the 22nd April! Great nice of them to let me know a whole 3 days before I was expecting it! Surely they must have known for longer than 3 days if its been delayed 2 weeks! I am tempted to cancel especially after reading about Dell's job cuts and customer service lately but I got a real good deal so im in two minds about it.

Cheers,
Hugest

Damn that sucks, guess I'll be getting my delayed email tomorrow then since it was estimated to be delivered on 10th. What spec did you go for?

So anyone got quote numbers or anything for any of these super discounts they reckon they are able to pull off?

Same as me, so guess whatever part yours is short of mine will be too

Mines been delayed to the 28th, NOT happy at all. :mad:

Someone's getting an earful for this.

Brok · 7 Apr 2008 at 14:24

Well I phoned Dell today and the CS monkey said that mine is in production and should still be delivered on 10th, but given the fact everyone elses seems to be getting delayed I'm still not convinced. Will be fuming if it gets delayed now given I have contacted them 4 times to check its not going to be delayed!

I'd phone them now again to see if you get the same answer from another monkey :eek:

Got a call from Dell today to confirm my address, their news is it should be with me by the end of the week

Typical,

Mine is probably delayed because I got such a good discount and they've just realised they are giving mine away lmao

Senture, when did you order yours?

Will be calling Dell tomorrow about this huge delay to see if I can get some priority.

Brok · 8 Apr 2008 at 07:33

Well did my daily check of the web this morning expecting the usual 'Pre-Production' screen.

"Your order has been dispatched as of 08/04/2008"

Woohoo!

Anyone been able to get their service tag to work on the dell website? Trying to find out which screen I have ended up with but keeps saying the service tag is invalid.

Hugest_UK · 8 Apr 2008 at 23:31

Hi,

Sent a nasty email to my account manager and low and behold mine shipped today too

Brok I get the same invalid tag so I guess they havent entered them into the system yet. I guess we will find out tomorrow

It would have shipped anyway, mine was done before I had time to call and have a good moan.

Bought a 1730, went for the dual 8700's though, 4gb ram and upgraded CPU, lovely machine

Just need to find a laptop bag to fit the thing now

u can find this out in the device manager properties for the display, look under the details tab and under hardware id for your plug and play monitor, there should be a code, I aint sure what codes mean what monitor atm though but I know I have a Samsung.
