    Could people please advise which model / reference number they ordered and what they received ?

    Please bear in mind that there are a couple of seemingly identical models at DABS with the same price but with different model /reference number.

    Thanks !

    I ordered my £229 model from BT on Sunday and it arrived at 8am this morning. I don't know which model it was, as I changed my mind and reordered the £329 version, returning this one unopened.

    I'm impressed with the speed of the delivery though and presume lots of people will get theirs in the next couple of days.

    a word of warning, new windows coming out soon, so don't buy a machine with 2 lower spec if ur going to get it!

    It may arrive in 6mths time if your lucky then it will be full of holes so wait another 4mths after initial release and its easy to upgrade a PC for Vista, thats if anyone buys it.

    when did you receive your notice of delivery e-mail? also did your order status change to dispatched or did it just say released for delivery? i ordered mine on saturday, but my order status is still "released for delivery".

    No email, just a knock on the door at 8am!

    According to my account history my first PC is still "released for delivery" so don't read anything into that as mine has been and gone.

    My PC has now turned up.

    Its a 5150, with 3Gb Pentium 4, 512Mb RAM with a dual VGA/DVI video card and separate modem card. Has a manufacture date of 020406. And boy is it quiet when running.

    Like Searcher2, it says box xxx of 050 with a service contract until Feb 09.

    The exact model ordered from Dabs was :

    Manufacturer : DELL
    Product : 5100 P4 512 160 DVDRW XPH
    Quicklinx : 42VMWS
    Quantity : 1
    Price exc VAT : £195.74
    Price inc VAT : £229.99


    Great spot. Well chuffed. Thanks !

    Cheers,

    Steve.
