Order GET!

So, with the craziness in customer service today due to the Black Friday/Cyber Monday, I decided to go for it, and placed my order just shy of 4:00pm PST.  I got it out of my system, was relatively content with the choices I'd made, and decided to call it a night with sitting around on the forums and calling DS every 5 minutes.

Around an hour passes by.  I'm sitting at my desk, waiting for the pizza delivery gent to show up, and I get a phone call.  James on the line, at 4:50pm, responding to a message I'd left earlier about wanting to purchase my computer today.  I let him know I'd already completed my order, but asked him some of the questions I'd prepared anyway, thinking that if the differences were significant enough, I could just get those parts of my order changed over the phone.  After talking for about 20 minutes, he'd seriously "flipped my lid,"  changed my perspective on my configuration, and made some awesome suggestions. 

THIS is how things are looking now, and how they'll hopefully look in a few weeks when my computer arrives.  Much thanks to James for giving me some awesome advice, and also for staying past closing time to talk with me. I truly, truly appreciate it. I'd also like to thank many of the forum members for taking their time to give me some useful information as I built up to my final decision.

Veloci raptor is faster and would have been better, other then that great system, you would have loved liquid cooling but this is still good and should oc well
