Ordered! Thanks everyone!

Hey all.  Well I finally ordered my new dream machine.  Although I didn't post much, over the past month or so, I've been on these forums reading everyone's comments, tips, and opinions about different hardware and I want to say thanks for all the great info.  I learned a ton and it really helped me make smart choices about my rig.  I wanted something on the smaller side that was simple, capable, and reliable with potential to upgrade in the future.  The only thing that didn't work out was the Noctua cooler because the case is too small.  All good though!  This beauty should be waiting for me when I get home from Afghanistan in a few weeks.  And here it is.

	It is a pretty sweet day when you come home to a Digital Storm box waiting for you. Can't imagine adding the fact you are coming home from a battle zone. Congrats and thank you. Enjoy the rig.
