Shipping Question regarding the PC/Hardware..

There is packing around the pc, in the pc all over the place to keep things in place.But that can't cover a bad driver that mistreats your package.

For the most part its ok, very few people have a bad driver but it does happen.

Depending on how big it is, it will go on a cart/dolly.

Its a great experience when it gets there, when you see it, its bigger and better then you imagined, you can't stop looking at it and admiring it, once you can bring yourself to touch it, you quickly but gently go to work getting all the packing out and etc. plug it in, watch it turn on/run. Its a beautiful thing.

You will stare and admire it for many days to come.

And then of course there is the guest that come over and "what the hell is that? a UFO?" and you smile and modestly say "oh thats just my computer, let me show you a few things....".

Hi Vulcan4,
Congratulations. That is the safest mode of transport.

I had mine shipped via freight (Aventum II) and at least mine came shrink wrapped with the monitor and other peripherals into a wood pallet. It is shipped by UPS Freight and they should call you to arrange a drop off date. At such time ask them if there are any extra charges for the actual moving from truck (not UPS) to where you want it. It is not light nor easy to move. They use a pallet mover to lift in the truck, roll to the gate and lower to the ground. From that point on depends on how friendly everybody is. You need at least two strong friends. Your first reaction will be to laugh, it is so large.
 
Even with such bulky item in a wood pallet, mine came with a loose memory stick  and another half out. The loose one was damaged and replaced.

Let us know how it went and good luck.

My pleasure and good luck

nice

Payment for my new Hailstorm 2 has been processed, so I should be seeing mine on its way here to my home in a couple weeks or so. :D

I have yet to purchase a monitor. I am going with a 27inch 1440p res 144mhz G-Sync IPS monitor and Acer (Predator) is at the top of my list. I have read some very good things about Acer. Asus is another mention as to be considered. I am a bit weary, however, about some quality issues I have read.

Not only have I not purchased a monitor, but I can not decide on the best quality built wireless gaming mouse and keyboard. I would go with a Razor Deathadder (Sp?), but that one doesn't have a wireless /Bluetooth version. I do not care for tons of buttons on a mouse, but response time and fluidness along with grest quality and comfort is essential. Sooo...now that I have just mentioned it, all opinions are welcome. I may start a new thread so the mouse and keyboard opinions will have their own thread.

Oh, and a headset is another thing I will need. Cost isn't an issue and the ones I have read anout are in the $200-$300 range. This hesdset will cause the games I play a bit more intimate and personal.
Have at it everyone lol... ;) :)

I don't think "...response time and fluidness..." and wireless can fit in the same sentence. It is better for both speed and precision if the keyboard and mouse are wired. There are more steps in getting the signal to the computer when you go wireless.
As to headsets, I don't use one. Like to know what is happening around me.
