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.

Yes, there would be no restocking fees and free shipping to return it.

She just confirmed it.

I'm sad. My order got cancelled.
I have been given the run around from Sales, to Verification, to Order Modification, to Sales, to Customer Care, to Sales Support. Haha.

No one has told me why it was cancelled until now.
I decided to chat one more time with Customer Support. She told me it was cancelled because I asked for Kilelr Wifi and Liquid cooling. I didn't!
Now she is referring me back to Order Modification!

Sad.

I was online with chat at 11 am yesterday, got an order finally placed at 12. It was cancelled at 1230.

I called Verifications and they said to update my address with Amex. I did.

I had stayed on with the same sales rep until 115 and he placed it again.

That order was cancelled at 8pm.

Since that time, I've tried to get it re-ordered with all of the above departments to no avail.

I need to give up. They just keep running me around in circles.

Useless, frustrating system.

Thanks for responding! If anyone else gets theirs cancelled, be sure to update the group so we can figure out if there are any consistencies.

When you buy from Dell, are you buying as a Personal or Business customer? I thought I remembered someone in another thread saying that may affect it.
