Russ,

Any way you can chat with the Post office? This should have arrived already and I am concerned that the tracking number does not work...

This was to be delivered to my office. someone would have signed for it.

What worries me is that the tracking number is invalid and shows nothing...

not seen mine as yet, do you have a tracking number for international?

i guess should have gotten here around the sametime as ebarlow99 since we are in the same state.

usually get a notice from postie if there is something that needs me to collect for a signature.

thanks

While overall it's quite an investment (for me the DMD+Driver is officially the most expensive thing on my cabinet), I do not think anyone who invests in this would be disappointed. It is simply amazing and it's still early in the works. It's kinda odd that I got mine so much faster than other people in the states (Iowa here).

Let's just say I'm a good bargain hunter sometimes, also I'm not afraid of refurbs and returned parts. I will give you if you take everything on the PC as one piece, it cost more, but I don't really look at it that way.
