Looks like a nice build and grats on your new rig in the making.
 
The only advise I can offer is don't rush it.  They are a tad slow on the builds so be patient.  It took a while on my rig (bad parts from vendors) and they had a shortage of high end parts.  So, it took a month for mine to land on my door step.
 
I love my rig, and it is a smoking machine!  Welcome to the family! Smile

Thanks for the encouragement. The more I look around the more I realize that going with DS was the right move. Sure I'm anxious to get my build, but I agree with you that I want everything done right. Can't wait to get it.
 
Glad to be part of the family, is right. Thanks.
 
Currently is Phase 2.

They all look like great systems. I've been saving for a while to get this rig. It's just what I want. The price started to add up quickly, and I'm sure I could have kept going. I'm in phase 2 just like you. Our rigs will be built side by side!Big%20smile
