QUOTE(Superman7 @ Jul 11 2013, 12:52 PM) I tried, 10% is the best I can get. Managed to negotiate for a Dell backpack instead of the Alienware backpack LOL. did you try to get the razer electra headset? My latest nego gave me both the HDD and headset.the 1TB HDD is possible if you pay with Mastercard. The ext. 1TB HDD is from Dell and it's USB3.0. |

Ordered my AW17 with it as well. will update when I got it. Although first impression by reading notebookreview forum, is the quality is downgrade compare to Orion. IDK if it's true or not.
QUOTE(sadukarzz @ Jul 12 2013, 02:00 PM) Sry guys for those who were waiting for my quotation, I was outstation due to emergency staff meeting >< .. oh well I hope it still helps wow, did you get all those for 5433? seems like a good deal. as your basic cost is RM4999+435+219+269. Straight up 9% discount without EPP ;OQuotation: 5433 > all same spec (5019 if not mistaken) + 2 years warranty + 14' vindicator + 17' messenger freebies > 1tb hdd, razer electra headset method > email/call, payment = maybank mastercard For those who may want my agent's contact (not sure can call her direct to order or have other procedures to go through), please PM me as I would like to give references to her as she did a great job in helping me placing my order and not forgetting to mention that she was patient enough and efficient. my AW14 will be arriving before 30/7 if not on 30/7 itself (from what my confirmation told me) again thanks guys and sry for keeping you guys waiting.

Hey, did anyone who experienced throttling due to temp tried EVGA Precision X yet? some users in notebookreview is saying that it can bypass dell throttle limit.

QUOTE(whyteaz @ Jul 16 2013, 06:11 PM) i do aware of that, however due to my room air conditioning my temp will never reach limit hence will never throttle... Not sure how. It seems like they just downloaded the EVGA Precision X thing and not installing the rivatuner (which come with it apparently).Then proceed with setting the temp limit to whatever you like.but do you know how to do it? For more details. you can start read up from this link. If no dell solution when I received my alienware, i'll be trying this. LINK |

yup. electronic temp is inversely proportional to lifetime
That being said, I dont think I'll be in airconditioned room at all during my gaming session |

My Vindicator Messenger Backpack has arrived!
Now waiting for my freaking AW17... Seems like there's a delivery on Wednesday, but the the courier said it was only the warranty or something. Anyone got any idea why the warranty is sent separately? |

Received 2nd SMS for delivery! I rang the number and was told it was alienware. The delivery was due on next Monday (due to friday is holiday in Selangor, but I'm in Johor >.> don't know why dell use delivery service in Selangor...). But I couldnt wait so asked my KL friend to pick it up for me tomorrow instead.
p/s: weird that the first delivery is supposedly today but nothing came in. I'll call in again tomorrow and ask why. |

My AW17 had landed. My wife is already asleep so can't turn on all lights.
Picture of my AW Vindicator Messenger which had arrived early + AW17 box + AW Vindicator Backpack box. Low quality image due to low lights... ![]() Picture of my backplate... sadly it wasnt customizable anymore... ![]() EDITED to resize the images.
