I thought it was a great deal until i found out that most of the parts are proprietary. Correct me if i'm wrong but even the GPU is their own custom GPU which means you can't just replace it with a full size 4070/5070 next time. There's also people complaining of thermal issues. That being said, ts a fantastic price @ $1199 for a 3070 but be aware of the limitations.

Considering the street value of even a used 3070 is north of $800 right now, this should sell out in all of about 6 seconds.

Quote from MooseJamal :
I paid the $30 extra and ordered over the phone. They're not doing any modifications at this point. After a very long hold, they told me they couldn't add the liquid cooling ($50), killer wifi ($20) or Lunar Light chassis ($30). Bummer, but on the bright side they saved me $100 and a longer wait - delivery is projected on or before Feb 25.
Call the modifications line. I'm on the line with them now and they let me upgrade to liquid cooling. They have to cancel and re-order the machine. 1-800-247-2076

You are only saving $30 if you can get it at 4pm. To be safe, I think you should order it now through chat and try your luck at 4pm.
Saving $30 - 9% C B - 5% if using Dell Preferred account for payment (using code DPA5) if ordering online.

Was able to nab one through chat. Agent wouldn't do any modifications but got it for 30 more plus tax. I'd suggest go this route cause they will probably sell out soon. Gl

Basically what I plan on doing but noticed the DPA5 code says it does not apply to Doorbuster deals. I intend to try anyways but probably won't work.

Received email almost immediately. Order wouldn't display status at first (not found), and purchase history matched your experience at first.
Thank you! I received an 'order received' email, but no confirmation. Sounds like delays aren't out of the ordinary!

I did this too and it worked, except I didn't get it for free - $50 extra.

For people who are unable to get liquid cooling and want it, place the order, then call the order modification number: 1-800-247-2076

In my case, the support person said he had to cancel the original order and re-order with the modification adding the liquid cooling for $50 extra.
Nobler! Thank so much for this info. I ordered the R10 on Chat, then called the modification number you provided and for $35 I was able to upgrade to the Liquid Cooler. Thanks!!!

My 2015 R5 with i7-6700k is a whopping 4% slower. The 1080TI is 14% slower. Definitely not justifiable to upgrade for such small gains. Pass on this deal.

In for two. Couldn't get upgrades but was told stock was very low as there were many already sold. Rep already was prepared for what I was buying as he had already dealt with other users today, haha. Estimate receive date of Feb. 21st. Ordered at noon today.
