Oh yeah, it's done! Dreadnoughty!

After researching the past month and going back and forth in deciding if i wanted to build, I placed my order with DS today. Much appreciation to the admin and members here in answering all my questions. That was the deciding factor in giving my business and $3,100+ to DS. I could have saved ~$600 by building, but having DS do it instead with warranty and support was well worth the extra premium.

Just don't F$%# it up

Originally posted by bprat22 Congrats.    No overclocking?   And, do you need the Chassis fan Upgrade package for the Fan Control as it says or will they use the HafX case fans ?  I'm not sure.    Awesome rig is on its way.   Now the wait.

I was going back and forth on the OC, but I am satisfied with the Turbo Boost to 3.9 ghz, I can always do it myself like in past rigs I've had.

Ordering the fan controller was 90% cool factor, yeah it might be a waste of money and the temps are somewhat inaccurate. I did request the OEM case fans be hooked up to the aerocool if possible. If not, I assume I can cancel that part?

Congrats! 

Congrats. I recommend checking out the Max Keyboard Mechanical Keyboards. I Have the Max Keyboard Durandal G1NL Red Backlit Mechanical Keyboard

i was curious about what they mean by mechanical? does it have a click, click sound when typing?

i was thinking about getting another logitech, like the G19 keyboard and G700 wireless mouse - but I'm always open to suggestions.

definitely check out mechanical keyboards. you might not think it makes much of a difference, but once you have used them side by side, mechanical is fantastic. most of them do not have the fancy gadgets as "gaming" keyboards do tho. i recently stopped using my g510 in favor of a Ducky mechanical keyboard. part of me misses the macro buttons and LCD panel, but i quickly realized i wasnt using them much anyways

It used to drive me batty, haha

Just contact them via email or phone, you'll be good.

thanks everyone, now the wait
