Finally ordered my computer. Now I'm just going to have to wait. It's too bad they can't pre-install SC2 with my license key (I asked and they said i would need to buy a new copy and its not worth the money). But otherwise I will just have to wait till about september 15th to get the thing. Anyways, it's been an awesome experience and thanks everyone on the forums.

Oh and if any of you guys are in the market for a really good pair of headphones, i would definitely suggest the Grado S80i, the best 100 dollars you will ever spend. You would have to spend an extra 100 to get the same sound quality in a sennheiser. If you get it crank up the volume and play the Halo theme, it will blow your mind.

I am in stage 5 and I understand this better now, I am so there, I went from Stage 1 to 5 last night BAM and now I am waiting all day checking my Blackberry looking for another update.
 
Stage 8(not real): Chomping at the bit
This is where we see what I like to call "im so excited i dont know what to do with myself" syndrome. It actually starts right after stage 1. You will be super active on the forums and ask tons of questions like "How could I go from stage 2 to stage 3 in 2 minutes then be on stage 4 for 2 hours?!"  or  "How could my package be in IOWA FOR 3 WHOLE DAYS IM SO UNNECESSARILY MAD" until you finally get your box, and we dont hear from you for several days.

I have had this issue in the past with large purchases so I called my credit card company in advance to let them know and have them put in thewir system how much I was about to spend, once that was done everything was A-OK
 
Gratz again

I ordered my PC last Friday the 20th at 1PM EST, Tuesday of this week I went from stage 1 to stage 4, Thursday afternoon (yesterday) I went to stage 5 and last night it was in stage 6. Today I got the stage 7 notice which means it should ship today or at least I am hoping it does. I don't know if this is typical or not, some seem to take longer but I ordered a pretty normal DS system from what I can tell. No special request or anything like that I ordered it exactly as I wanted it so maybe that played a role.

Cool hopefully none of my components hold up anything. I didn't order any custom parts so that shouldn't delay it. You never though i guess. Hopefully by next friday I'm at stage 7 :). Let us know when your's ships.

Hey KJ, I am about 1.5 or 2 hours from Rochester, I have primarily played EQ-1 and EQ-2 with a little WoW, LOTRO, Lineage, Lineage 2, AOC, Warhammer, EvE, Star Trek, SWG thrown in for good measure. In some of those games I was Warpig if the name was available, if it wasn't I would typically try and use it as a surname.
