I just ordered this beast and I'm curious to get some feedback and what everyone thinks? Any concerns or advice before it starts getting built?

Tell us a bit more about what you're looking for:
• What kinds of games will you be playing? • Will you be using this for non-gaming software? If so, what software? • What kind of monitor will you have? • What are your highest priorities with this machine? That'll help us give you some advice. |

It's pretty tough to outline concerns/advice without knowing what you want to do. Right off the bat, I can tell you there are very, very, VERY few requirements for that much RAM. At your budget, your storage leaves a lot to be desired, and I think a mechanical hard drive is obsolete in a beast machine like that.
Has anyone made you aware of just how large, and especially heavy (~ 100 lbs or more) an Aventum is?
