Rig Ordered!!!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I was reading Maximum PC magazine this past December while on the plane to the Middle East and told myself, "I'm going to get a kick @$$ computer when I'm done with this deployment!!"
After saving what seemed to be over 100 configurations the past 6 months, I finally placed my order today!  Only hoping that it'll be in England (where I'm stationed) before June 28th when I return "home" from the desert.

I ended up going with config 150813 *edited, thanks MarkNY*.  It fits my gaming needs and still within the price range of what I want to spend (trust me I've built many configs that were well over $8000 on the site.)

Anyhow, wanted to know if anyone on the forums is overseas and has experienced DS shipping to APO addresses.  And if so, how long it took them to get the rig after it was shipped.  Trying to get an idea of whether or not I can beat my new rig home.

Glad to finally join the DS community!

	very nice setup! I would seriously consider amending it to include a second loop for the video cards. I currently only have a single loop and it is not enough. (running around 60 idle and 75 on load). Or at least call DS and ask them to install 3 reservoirs to help cool. 2 def doesn't do it.

	No kidding Sunfighter, "WTB Vowels"... When they told me I was deploying here I didn't believe it was a real country until I google searched it.

	Always avoid nations that end in a Stan, every one of them is unstable.
