Grats! I love my DSO rig. My game run soooo smooth and everything maxed out looks beautiful ! I plan on this one lasting me at least another 4 or 5 years and then I will go back to DSO and start all over again. |

Thanks! Can't wait to see it, I'll be sure and post plenty of good pics :) Going to be time to shop for a new monitor soon. Any suggestions on a 22-23? nothing crazy expensive.. $300 or so.

Samsung..... I got a 22 inch flat panel that is great for gaming when I got my new rig... WOW... really the best monitor I have ever had. I got it online and it was like 250 bucks with free shipping and no tax from Pricegrabber.com! |

Man I haven't seen a single tracking update since the 19th... Wtf FedEx? Worried about the rig enough without that.

Pfft, try USPS. I have a package I'm still waiting on that hasn't gotten an update since the 12th.
 But that's just two boxes of contacts. I'd be more annoyed at a DS computer going AWOL for 4 days. I feel for you. |

No. We actually use USPS for APO/Military Orders as those are the only couriers for shipping to those locations.
For everything else, we use FedEx and UPS.

I can see it now:
I'll get up thursday morning, get ready for work, pull out the laptop and check tracking.. still no update. Go to walk out the door and nearly kill myself tripping over the box they left on my doorstep. By the time I get to the hospital all the backlogged tracking updates will finally hit and show up.

Ok, specs are up on the begging of the post. I'll check the OC and temps tonight and see how everything ended up and post the results.
