First off let me say our ordering experience with DS was perfect.
 
We ordered the rig on Jan 28th and received it on Feb 27th which was within the time we thought it would take so no disappointment there.
Everyone who took our calls were professional and courtious ( Perfect service on all platforms ) They answered all of our questions they didn't try to pacify us and rush us off the phone.The rig arrived in perfect condition ( UPS didn't play football with it ) DS's packaging is perfect to ship anywhere. We hooked it up and the only problem was we couldn't get sound out of the rear jacks ( Here comes the perfect service part..........AGAIN ) Dave answered the call and walked us trough a couple of procedures and BAM! problem solved.
Sufice it to say we would order from DS again without any worries whatsoever.
 
So with no more words to add here are the pics...............ENJOYSmile
Notice the key and my wifes hand to show size, everything is hugeTongue

I'm impressed that you hired a professional hand model to accentuate your pics.  I'm pretty sure that you can claim that manicure as a business expense, just steer the IRS to the forums.

Nice...I ordered the same case.  Is that the stage 3 air cooling?  I've been looking around, but I'm not sure I have a good handle on exactly what is done besides changing out the fans for better fans.  Do they cut the case for a larger one in the front?  Looks very nice...I can't wait till mine gets here...STAGE 5!!!  Big%20smile

Cases normally only come with one or a few fans depending on the case. Stage 3 will fill the case with all the fans that it can hold, upgrading the existing to high quality ones, and in 750si they will add a 4in3 module to the drive space up front for an extra intake fan. The 850si really gives you your moneys worth though as there are 4 side fans blowing at the reverse side of the motherboard, 2 top fans, 2 bottom fans, and a rear fan.

Im not sure if you can request additional 4in3 mods on the 850si and 950si while keeping it at the same price as Stage 3 cooling but...?

Also, with this case, it has a door so an extra front intake would hardly be beneficial as you would have to leave the door hanging open for it to do any good. I dont think they literally cut/drill a space to fit new fans on any of the cases, but its a good idea to upgrade to one of the other cases anyway if youve got a system with tendency towards heat.

Oh yeah, I love the comp in the pics as well, haha. Does mine come with a hand like that one?

And it rates a 5.6 on the Windows Richter scale. Trying to make it a 5.9 it says it needs to be faster on the calculations per second but its fast already

I am in the Chicagoland area but if my wife has a sister she hasn't told me about it either.Shocked
 
Now we both must get to the bottom of this.
 
But if they are sisters one of them is the evil twin because one of us has to do all the work and the other isn't allowed to touch anything.Evil%20Smile
