I agree, but that does not fit the "passive aggressive" tactic for canceling these orders. Once they get the product, eat through their allocation with actual $600 orders, they could then reove the product again and claim "back-order", purge or orders and then report the product a few days later.

Seriously, if you had more orders then supply, who would you sell them to? People you will lose money with, or people you are making about $158 more?

The only saving grace in this scenario for some may be if Dell only cancels orders from people who have never purchased from them before. Since I bought my Q8200 system in March from Dell. I should be OK

Not long to find out if Dell is going to honor the orders, so we shall see!
