I have been reading the forums over at the Dell site for a few days now. The one post I see most often is delays. There has been post sying everything from Dell not having the money to buy parts to Dell can't get parts.

Officaly Dell is saying there is are computer hardware parts shortages. Is this true ? Are parts like i5 and i7 cpus in short supply.What about ram,HD ect....

I wouldn't buy parts from dell unless they were heavily discounted, or impossible to find.

I find it rediculous how dell has "upgrade" options on systems and the price to upgrade is 200-300% of the retail price of the component you're upgrading.

anyhow... you should be able to find anything you need on ebay new or used.
