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! Awesome

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.

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.

Motherboard: EVGA X58 SLI 3 Edition (USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s) (Model: 131-GT-E767) BACKORDERED ETA 11/30

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.
