mine arrived on Thurs 17th Feb, I now have ordered Windows XP Media Center with Hauppauge Win TV PVR tuner card and Aopen Aeolus Fx5200-v128 Pci/pci 128mb Ddr Tv-out graphics card to convert this puppy to a fully fledged Media Center

How are people getting free delivery, I can't see any mention of free delivery.

If fact the delivery seems extortionate £50! that's where they're making their money back!

Any help with this would be appreciated.

It was all part of the "offer" from Dell. See the whole thread for the whole sorry tale.....

Media Center allows you to connect your pc to tv to show your digi pics music video ect and record your tv pause live tv ect like a pvr, tivo or sky+

A big thanks to PsyBear the OP for this as a second batch of 3000's arrived today due to Dell not noticing they already completed my order once

I do hope all those still waiting get the ones they ordered too.

Received letter from Walsh Western on Wed saying that computer would be delivered Fri between 5:00pm & 9:00pm.
Guess what, waited in all evening but it didn't turn up.
Checked on-line tracking system and according to Walsh Western they tried to deliver at 6:00pm but there was no one in so they left a card.
What a load of rubbish

Eventually managed to contact carrier on Sat pm. They said that driver had phoned but got no answer (Bull****).Agreed to deliver Mon evening between 5:00pm & 9:00pm again. Guess what! Still no show.

I don't have any to sell, but there are loads on eBay - going rate now appears to be about £245+delivery for one of the £184 systems.

Cheers
