Ok, I think I've decided on my build.  I'm shooting for a computer between moderate and high-end, for some gaming, some rendering, and so on.  My goal is good performance and durability.  I went ahead and added the stage 2 cooling and cabling.

Thanks

Order placed.

 
Very disappointed in the verification process since I want it shipped to my work address (which my credit card issuer is aware of).  One very common thing in this day and age is for credit card issuers to have an alternate shipping address on file. 
 
There's no way I'm going to email a copy of my credit card, front and back (showing the CVV2 code that prevents fraud by proving I have the card in hand) and a copy of my driver's license.
 
The form letter email that I got wasn't very descriptive on how I go through the Manual process: 
 
"Option 2: Manual Authorization
If you do not wish to complete and submit the authorization form, we offer a manual authorization option for our customers. In this process, we will connect a three-way conference call with you, the card holder, and your bank. Our Digital Storm representative will ask your bank to verify that you are the card holder. After verification, the order will be manually processed by our accounting department."
 
Do I get called?  Do you call me?  What number do I call?  Is there a timeframe or day of week that it can be done?

well sir, I do apologize for your disappointment, but we do this for your protection.

But as far as the manual authorization, we will call you when we're open for business tomorrow and setup the 3way call to your bank.

As soon as you call. State you would like to conduct option 2 and we will take care of you. I am sorry if this process seems disappointing to you, I understand. However, being a high-end integrator, many people want to purchase a computer from us. Many of them sometimes end up being kids using their parents credit card.
 
Once again, sorry for the trouble, but, once we get through it, we can move on building your system. The option 2 will only take 5-10 minutes depending on your bank.
