"Congratulations, your package has been shipped!"

Thats always nice to see! Went into Stage 2 on Friday, and then BANG-in stage 3 on Monday. Good stuff! Now if it gets here by Fri.-or Sat. I can show my nephew what a real computer looks like! Of course, he'll have to stand behind the yellow tape as nobody is permitted to get closer than 8 feet to the rig-house rules. Tongue

I had one last question if someone from DS can answer-my order numbers 5277-I got the TwisterBoost and went with the Ultra case. Can you please tell me how many fans you guys installed and where so I know what to buy? I see on the CM 830 page that it says:

1x 120mm intake fan
2x 80mm exhaust fans

But on the TwisterBoost option it says the techs will put in any additional fans they feel would provide optimal cooling. I just need to know what was put in so I know what aftermarket fans to purchase. Thanks! Smile

Looks like we upgraded your heat sink and did not add more fans. If temperatures are fine, we don't add fans because all they would do is increase your overall system noise.
 
The reason why is because your case has great air-flow already!

No doubt, I love the case design! And thats fine Alex, I just didnt want to order another fan before I knew what was installed. Im not going with the optional side 4 fans-yet, but was going to pick up an additional exhaust fan for the top of the case. Thanks for the quick reply. Congrats Phreak! Big%20smile

Congrats. I'm envious - I've been in Stage II for over a week and just found out my PSU "exploded" during the burn-in.. Robert recommended I upgrade it to a 700W, which I did, and now it will be another couple of days... Hopefully the failure didn't mess up any other components.

I'm sure it will all be worth it once I have the rig Big%20smile

It exploded? Shocked I thought I read something in the news about that-"Huge explosion in the City of Industry, CA rocks a 8.3 on the Rictor Scale. Fortunately no one was injured and their was minor collateral damage."

Stoopid power supplies. Tongue That is one thing I really like about DS, they really do keep you informed and give you options. They ran out of red IDE cables and they contacted me twice to let me know. I much prefer that method rather than pulling the ol' switcharoo without notice.

I was just a bit upset it shipped so quickly, I wanted to request my computer be shipped on a UPS truck hauling nothing but toilet paper. LOL
