Advice on Broadwell-E build

Update
I tried a configuration
https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1509224

Cases are limited to 10 options only.
No 1.2 TB Intel 750 PCI SSD (DS used to have this in the configurator)
No Noctua fans (DS used to have an option for it. The first computer I got from DS came with a Noctua fan).

Maybe I need to build this one myself!

for a Possible home music server, i recommend you get a nice WiFi DAC. this will do wonders for your music.

are you a doctor?

Originally posted by DST4ME The packing is not the foam expanding anymore so the noctua was not staying still during shipping so they stopped offering it. Change your cpu cooler to h115i.

I read that the Corsair H115i has noisy fans. Can the fans be replaced?

Can't wait to get the system. Needs fan upgrades and I was thinking about the new Corsair magnetic levitation technology with low noise, high static pressure and high air flow fans to replace the 2 inflow fans in front, outflow fan on the back and the radiators fans unless there is better and quitter fans out there.

They get crazy busy this time of the year, every year.   It is possible it moved up a stage or two, but you just didn't get an update. It happens, but just a guess on my part.

Finally reached Stage 3 albeit 9-14 business days for shipping!

It has been 30 days since I ordered. Maybe I need to cancel the order and look somewhere else. Very disappointed.

Talk to Alex. He can get you an idea of whats going on and how busy they are. I ordered my system in Oct and I'm still waiting on my system, which just recently got to Stage 5. Also you cant count non-business days and holidays since they are normally closed on those days. So really you've only had 21 working days. You are well ahead of the power curve compared to my 40 days.

Finally I got word the computer is at stage 7. Ready to ship soon. I'll guess it will be at my home next year. Happy New Year to all.
