MONSTER build. Stage 3 after 2 days. :)

I am a software developer looking for a box that can handle many parallel complex mathematical threads. I'm into machine learning, AI, stock market trading, and astrophysical modeling, And in addition, I love to shoot some zombies when I'm not working.

I ordered this right before X-mas, and honestly wasn't expecting much progress before the New Year. On Christmas Eve, I got notice that Stage 2 and Stage 3 had completed.

I am eagerly awaiting the build and will post pics/reviews.

Praise the Giant Spaghetti Monster, I got the stage 4 notification today (1/13/16). Stage 3 certainly took longer than I expected.
