Well fingers crossed... any guesses whether the orders will be filled?

Well, considering that Dell (per phone calls from others) doesn't even see the part number in their system.....hmmmm?

I really would not mind if they made this card take up two slots and just be cool and silent.

Man this is the second person that said there BFG 8800GT OC died on them. Whats the deal with this card? I also have it BTW.

Glad I got in on this. About time Dell delivers something right (which remains to be seen of course ;P )

 

[terrett101]

Anyone see anything else on their order other than "in production"?

 

[you2]

My guess is someone temporarily pulled the product due to flood of orders and it will be restored later abit perhaps out of stock or similar. As to existing orders they are in the system (pointing to the object that has been pulled). Will dell honor - you're guess is as good as mine.

According to the site it will be "In Production" until it ships, which was estimated as Dec. 10.

 

[onelove]

dont see any reason dell would cancel orders on these; its not a price mistake. to the contrary, its within the $199-250 price range nvidia announced this product would sell in. I'm expecting these will be honored.

 

[nyker96]

Ya just got in on one, said 12/10 ship date. I don't get this, all these retailers, advertising something cheap and people order then they cancle your order, but don't do a thing when say you paying more for something. I'd like to see a retailer canceling your order cause they over stated their price then say refund you that difference, now that's fair.

Thanks heavens... I couldn't avoid pulling the trigger on this much longer! These bargains will eventually bankrupt me

You and me both. I've got 3 cards on order and the first one to ship (if any) gets paid. The rest cancelled!

My order status says ship date 12/10/07.

I think about everyones does.

 

[huggiebear]

Yes, I believe all 12 million orders from DN8DW (Dell Nvidia 8800GT Dedicated Warehouse) will ship simultaneously on 12/10/07.

Oh, I forgot to add there will probably a special coordination with carriers for this event.

It's alive again. Go now!

 

[msi1337]

plus with the 20% cashback from paypal..you can get it for $207.99 + tax minus 20%... about $170!

 

[Aisengard]

no, the paypal thing doesn't work with Dell anymore.

 

[Engineer]

This card is now in stock at Newegg for $299. The price isn't the point, but the fact that MSI is shipping them to Newegg is. If they are shippin, Dell might just get theirs too...I would bet they have more pull than Newegg!

 

[jordanz]

Just put in for 2. One for $213 w/ tax + DPA. Other for $220.

 

[street carp]

Awesome...I was kind of worried the deal would fall through. This is a good sign; maybe a sign it may be delivered sooner than expected.

 

[slayer202]

what is DPA...

Since this is being shipped third party (per Dell CSR), the status won't change usually until well after it ships. The last order that I had from Dell that was shipped third party wasn't updated until a week after I had received it. I'm not saying that they'll ship before or after the 10th, just that Dell is slow to update shipping status from third party shipments (based on past history).

 

[vaylon]

Engineer is right, you will have it at your door before the status changes. In fact I can't remember anything I have ordered from dell that I was able to track properly. Most items show up unexpectedly or not at all.
