It seems like it takes forever for it to move through the stages and finally arrive at your door. You'll be real happy when it does though. Worth the wait.

Good luck!!

I went to stage 5 Sept 29

4 days later, Oct 3 stage 6

5 days after that, Oct 8, it shipped.

The worst part for me was after it shipped. I tracked it every 5 min till it arrived at my door.

You're getting close, hang-in there!!

It took 6 long excruciating days!!

I hope you have a hand truck or an extra person to help you bring it in the house. It's BIG and HEAVY. Shipping weight is 250lbs.

Hey chardo440

If you ask Alex, maybe he can post a picture of your machine before it ships.

Im sure it also depends on where you live too. The closer the better.
Im in the midwest im not sure how long it would take to get here.

Also I kind of want a picture of it before it ships so I can complete the shrine im building to the UPS shipping gods. And because I want to see it.

Yeah it's the best end of the year ever pretty much with a combination of fallout and a digital storm pc! Thank you eekman according to my "calculations" I will have a smidge of a wait for fallout before I can play. No worries though. I gotta just stay strong! Yeah I have a few people to help me. 250 pounds is crazy!

Is that the Intel SSD in between the two graphics cards?

Looks tight for GPU air cooling. I know DS tested it though but it just seems like the GPU's and the SSD are not going to breathe very well.

May not be any other choice.

You will want to move the SSD up to the PCI-e slot on top. As it is right now, it is dropping the bandwidth to the top GPU down to x8. If you move the SSD to the top, it will go back to being x16.
