I was gonna wait it out but I had my order cancelled too.
If you go to Resellerratings, Dell's rating has plunged recently. There's quite a few negative ratings based on this fiasco (including mine).
I picked up one from the Tustin store yesterday lunchtime. He had to go into the stockroom as they hadn't even got them on the shelves yet. The one I got was the newer 8800GT with the larger fan.
Unless you're really hurting for cash, it would be better to pick up the 512MB model for a lil' extra. Prices and availability of the 8800GT mean that you can find its big brother online for not much more than this.
Assuming that's six regular days and not six business days, that's not bad considering it's coming from Canada. I live in Southern California which is great for getting things fast, but I'd rather get it from somewhere out of state and pay no tax; not too many places outside of California...
Just spoke to Dell. Apparently they're receiving 3600 MSI cards and are still on schedule to ship them out December 10th.
I ordered mine around midnight on the 24th and he was nice enough to bump me to next business day shipping.
I have a very similar system and just ordered the Dell MSI card. The video card is definitely the bottleneck in my system for games; I've been holding off on getting Call of Duty 4 and Crysis until I could do them justice. According to all the reviews it should be a real nice boost in frame...
Thx OP, had one in my hand yesterday at Fry's but couldn't pay $280+tax for a card that was supposed to be $250 at retail.
This one is overclocked as standard and $224.11 shipped. Nice!
I just ordered a mobo and some RAM from Mwave. No problems, came well packed and on time.
This drive got a nice review here:

I'll second the monoprice suggestion. If you're in a hurry though and can't wait a few days, I bought mine from Walmart. It's Philips brand and set me back roughly $30 about a year ago. Or you could take out a second mortgage on your house and buy one from BestBuy...
