Congrats on the rig! That's a nice build, only thing I would suggest would be upgrading to the Corsair AX1200 PSU. With all that hardware its worth the extra $ for the reliabilty and stability that Corsair delivers.

I sent a request to upgrade the PSU.
Are digital storm ok with upgrades after the order is submitted? Other than that the rig is ok? |

That build is very close to mine, other than a few tweaks here and there. I hope it rocks, for obvious reasons!

Congrats. Take my advice. Forget that you ordered the rig, you will sleep better and produce more at work. Once the order is placed all you can do is think about it and check you e mail to see if the status of your rig is updated. GET READY TO WAIT. Here is the rig I ordered on Nov. 04, 2010. System Configuration: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Black OPS HailStorm Edition Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: EVGA X58 SLI 3 Edition (USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s) (Model: 131-GT-E767) System Memory: 6GB DDR3 2000MHz GTX-8 Digital Storm Certified Extreme Performance (Highly Recommended) Power Supply: 1200W Digital Storm Certified (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition Highly Recommended) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (80GB Solid State (By: Corsair) (Model: Drive Force Series CSSD-F80GBP2-BRKT) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: Blu-Ray & DVD Writer/Reader (Burn + Play Blu-Ray & DVDs) (12x BD-R) (Lite-On iHBS112) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: Wireless-USB N 300Mbps (Supports 802.11n/g/b) Video Card(s): 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 1.5GB (Includes PhysX Technology) (EVGA Brand) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 6: Sub-Zero LCS Dual Loop: CPU & Dual SLI/CrossFire Video Cards H20 Tube Color: Blue Tubing with High-Performance Fluid (UV Lighting Reactive) Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (UV) (Creates Glowing Effect for H20 Tubes) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stage 2: Overclock the processor between 4.0GHz to 4.2GHz (Requires H20 Cooling Upgrade) Graphics Boost: FREE: Yes, Overclock the video card(s) as much as possible with complete stability Memory Boost: Memory Fan Kit Only (Does not include memory overclocking service) OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Advanced Recovery Kit (40GB Hard Drive Partition of Image With OS & Drivers) Virus Protection: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2011 (Virus, Spyware, Phishing, Firewall Protection) Office: - No Thanks Benchmarking: - No Thanks Pre-Install Game: FREE: Hot-selling game with a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 or above graphics card Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Xtra Large) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: FREE PROMO: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 4 Year Limited Warranty Stages Stage 1 : 11/04 Stage 2 : 11/05 Stage 3 : 11/05 Stage 4 : 11/08 Stage 5 : 11/09 Today is Nov 29, 2009. Make sure you figure the 15 working days for you build. My 15 days was up last Wednesday. Hay I get it, holiday week, not much going to get done, and I requested up to 4.2 Ghz, I am sure this takes time to accomplish. I must say, if you want to make change DS is very easy to work with. The GTX 580 came out 5 days after my order, but I did not want to delay the build for the new graphics card. At the time I thought the build would be out for deliver much sooner based off the other reviews.

HiBall, is there any specific thing that held up your order that they may have contacted you about? Because that long of a wait is not usual.
Wasn't the EVGA x58 SLI3 on backorder still at the start/middle of the month? |

no, no one ever contact me on the delay, and if they did and it was about the EVGA card i would of just changed it to the ASUS Rampage II Extreme. I even called a couple of times about the delay and got the same robotic answer, we are working on it we are still within the 15 day build. I was told last Tuesday that it was on the final test of “Prime95”. I was really hoping that it would ship Wednesday before the holiday but I did not. If it does not ship today, I will probably have to fork up the additional $450.00 for two day air, Jesus Christ I don’t want to do that. Sorry to Bally for jacking your post. |

I don't know if they were contacting people about it or anything, it just said it right on the item in the drop down box of the configurer.
They got some in earlier than that though, I noticed in the last week or two that the backordered note was gone. There were none at the start of the month when you ordered though, so that probably delayed it some. How much I don't know, there's always the possibility of other oddball factors as well, your rig might of been one of the few to need a part replacement because one was found to be defective during testing, or maybe the CPU chip wasn't taking to generic overclocks as well as some and the overclock needed to be adjusted and retested. It's not like they like orders taking longer than usual, between them taking up room, taking up worker's time to work on, and being a spat on DS's usually impeccable processing speed, so if they're not sending it out yet it definitely isn't in a condition that you would want to receive it in. Unlike someone such as Dell, who would of just sent you an untested rig with defective parts or whatnot. |

DragoonSeal i get all of that, and beleive me i do not want a defective product. "Backordered ETA 11/30" was not on the drop down when i ordered. I do not want this to hinder anyone from ordering a computer from DS, I have not recived the order yet, but i am sure the quality will be un matched.

@HiBall,
I noticed we exchanged emails today about the status of the system.
If everything passes, the system should goto QA tomm. The high speed (2000MHz) took time to fine-tune with your overclock.
