When going through chat you can do various upgrades. Some of these are:
Keep the stock 550W PSU and add AIO Watercooling (+$50)
Upgrade to 1000W PSU and add AIO Watercooling (+$200)
Add Killer NIC Wifi 6 Wireless Card (~+$20-$30)
There's more upgrades available. See the non-deal version of the R10 for possible upgrades here [dell.com] and rough prices.

NOTE: Dell's Memory used in this system is a PROPRIETARY MODEL manufacturered by Kingston. As such, if you want more than 16GB, you'll likely need to either purchase more memory from Dell or replace all of the memory with retail memory; NO MIX OR MATCH.
See this post for Memory Info (Thanks quantecipher! Make sure to give them rep!): https://slickdeals.net/f/14826469-1200-begins-02-11-alienware-aurora-r10-desktop-3700x-rtx-3070-16gb-ram-512gb-nvme?v=1&p=1452
Stock Dell memory seems overpriced for what it is and many users highly suggest, if upgrading to 32GB, to buy your own 32GB kit that's compatible with this PC instead of buying 32GB through Dell. See post on memory again since not all memory modules are stable with the R10 system.
Hope that helps!

They told me no they cant do that either, but then he said just $30 more. I was like "ok..."
I called them today, showed them the presidents day deal on dell website for 1199.99. Told them I wouldn't be available on the 11th and if I could get it early. The guy knew what I wanted and got permission from finance.
Got back to me with a quote for $1229 = 30 bucks more. I asked if I could get the liquid cooling he said it would cost about $200 more. I said never-mind I will take it as is.
He read the specs before placing the order and said "fan cooling". HOWEVER, when I got the actual confirmation I saw:

Again, the sales rep read his screen and told me it would be fan cooling, the actual order confirmation details shows liquid cooling. I will see when it gets here, but if your quoted $30 more it might be for liquid cooling.
so they it on their website when you scroll down.

Well probably whats going on here is, they arnt allowed to do early specials exactly as is and have to modify it somehow so it can be added. The rep who helped me 2 days ago said he had to get it manually approved. He also told me a definitive no when I asked to get the $1200 price, but told me he could get it close to that.
In terms of the liquid cooling thing. I am going to guess it might be a typo or perhaps its referring to some AIO cooling for the cpu, as opposed to "liquid cooling" as in water cooling kit for the entire system. Those are 2 very different things, thats why he quoted you $170.... The rep didnt mention anything to me about the cooler being different, just that the system would be +$30 over the pres. day deal so.... Might have to wait and see what arrives.
Now the only deal you can get is $1,229.99 for the doorbuster deal, $50 additional for the liquid cooling. Total $1,279.99
Not giving up. Got time on my hands. Will call over and over.
