Thanks! )
Dont worry, once its shipped, it won't be long till you get a text saying that it will be delivered. The order status doesn't really move once the status is 'in transit'. Heck, mine is still 'in transit'. So no worries, you'll get it soon
Yeapp, But I already have the GTX780m on hand with me; along with these babies that are going in to the AW17 (Crucial 960GB SSD x2, Transcend 512GB SSD, Crucial Balistix Sports 1866 1.35V RAM, ODD Caddy for 750GB 7200 RPM HDD) When I have all this in then I will run some benchmarks



And I am typing on the AW17 keyboard now and its so much nicer than the M17x R4 and R3. heh.

PS. For the guys that missed it, the AW17 unboxing pictures are in the previous page (78)

Illegear Came over on Wednesday to upgrade the AW17 and modify it.

Below are the pictures of what and how it happened:

So basically I was upgrading my system from the GTX770m to the GTX780m. Removing the 750GB HDD that came with the AW to the Transcend 512GB SSD as the C-Drive and the secondary bay to house the Crucial 960GB SSD, and the BluRay drive to be removed and to house another Crucial 960GB SSD. Then the stock RAM's were also changed out and added with Crucial Ballistix Sport 1866MHz 1.35V RAMS.
Opening up the belly of the Alienware

You can see from this picture that everything has been removed. All the HDD's, batteries, and the BluRay drive.

Everything was then installed and they were pieced together and Windows was reinstalled into the new SSD



And that's done and now I am installing my other programs. My final rig is as per my signature below. And I love it. Thank God for everything!
