Is anything being delayed in my build?

You might want to look up what an NVMe SSD can do versus the DS SATA M.2 part you picked. Just 5-10 times faster is all. If you think that might change your entire experience with this box, you'd be right.

10 days standing in the build line is nothing, BTW. right after the holidays. That's maybe 6 BUSINESS days, and I wouldn't expect your build to move off Stage 1 until about 20 BUSINESS days have passed. You count that not from when your order was placed, but when it was approved.

I’m with you. I’ve been in stage one going on 4 weeks. And it’s not a supply issue from what I can gather. I was told once you get out of stage 1 things will move quickly. Hoping to see a change by end of this week.

Originally posted by Bamareb28 Same boat....27 days stuck in stage 1. I was told by Alex that they were waiting on a 3080 card. Hoping its built and shipped by end of January. I will say that patience is key, this being my second DS order. They make great machines that have so far lasted me 6 years. BUT for the money we paid (4K PLUS) the wait times can get to our heads lol. This is interesting. A read a thread last week saying they had plenty of 3080 GPU’s I’ll have to double check that Lumos i7-10900k 32gb ram RTX 3080 500 gb NVME SSD 2 Tb 860 EVO
