The system was pretty expensive... ($4,460.00)
Actually,
I ordered the system last friday and I've been tracking the FedEx shipment like an obsessive compulsive crack addict! :biggrin2:
Normally I would
NEVER drop 5K for a computer system! I currently have a Dell Inspiron laptop that is about 5-6 years old and was purchased for word processing, e-mail and school work.
I had planned on financing a system from GateWay but my grandparents found out about the endeavor, broke into the family discussion, and offered to help pay for the computer system outright.
I paid about $1700.00 from my savings (alot for a college student) and my grandparents covered the rest of the balance.

FedEx is supposed to deliver the system by 05/25/07 (Friday) but my keyboard hasn't left the warehouse yet!
I currently have a laptop and if the system arrives on Friday and the keyboard hasn't left the warehouse yet....can anyone see the problem! :biggrin:
The last time I checked, my computer system was scanned into the FedEx database in Hutchins Texas and shortly after that, they had moved everything to Fort Worth...
I assume that Fort Worth is where they will load everything onto a plane that is headed for Birmingham, and then from B'ham to Tuscaloosa.
Right Now -- I am Beyond Excitment! :biggrin2:
