Just starting to get shipping status now. Got a tracking number but no carrier info. Both UPS andf FedEx have no info on it yet. Maybe everything is waiting to get picked up at factory.

Cool, both carriers are good and at a guess you should have it in the next few days.

Its coming FedEx but it looks like I'll get the Monitor and Speaker packages tomorrow and the actual Computer on Monday, which sort of sux. I had to ask for an extra day off work to accept delivery.
