Delayed
So I am delayed again. I ordered on March 1st and have been delayed at least until March 31st. I got my system for $1500 dollars, plus tax it was $1599. Should I keep waiting for my system or should I try to build one somewhere else. I want aroudn the same quality for the same price, but I'm not sure if I can find it anywhere else. You think Dell may give me some compensation for my time. It cost me time and money cause of this delay. Your advice would be appreciated. Here is my system info:

?Tripple post aside, I am on the waiting list after ordering my 9400 March 1. Aparently there is a manufacturer delay on the Nvidia 7800go card, there is rumour abound and confirmed by my dell rep today that there is a design flaw with the 7800go and the card is listed as "end of life", taking that, there was a design flaw in the 7800go and is currently being reworked, or to be relaunched as the 7900go. Take as you will. I was really hoping to hold out for my 9400, but opted to go XPS instead for slightly more than my 9400 configuration.. Core duo is not in widespread use as yet, and am willing to hold out till the 64bit core duos hit out this fall winter.This is gonna be a rough year for the vid chipmakers and chipmakers as all are switching down their processes to 90 nm or 65nm. there's gonna be some kinks.
There are numerous reports in the video forum of 1705/9400 users with the 7800 having artifact issues so there may be some truth to this.
