This will be my FIRST pc and the anticipation is killing me! I dont think the ship date made it but im still super excited for it to arrive. I will post pics and keep updated.

I actually already have a 1tb evo 980 i was going to install once the pc arrived and the over clocking was a free upgrade only reason i got it! How ever you really think i should remove it?
This pc will be for gaming only and i play free world online games like dayz that request alot!
Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you both for your info and help! I did contact DS and removed the cpu and graphics Over clocking. I would rather have an overall cooler system and I trust you all more than i know seeing as how this is my first system!

That will be a very nice system.  Congratulations.

We are on the move again hopefully it keeps up im going crayz!!

Stage6: 10/1

My system has been in Stage 6 since sept. 17.

Iv looked at that smiley face update so many times its not even funny. P.s. like 1000 times a day lol

2 1/2 weeks your lucky im almost at 2 months just have patience!

You kinda seem upset about this friend. We have all had that same wait time you can tell from my 1st post. I would Highly recommend contacting DS directly for peace of mind on any questions you have! Talking to them directly might make you feel more reassured on the process!

@pcrannel, I'm sorry about the delay, I do see that it's been a few day over our estimation, I'm going to escalate the order and have it shipped within the next few days.

Thank you , Alex. It has been moved on to "Packaging". Just hope it doesn't stay there long.

... and there he is....   

As an Old School DS Gamer with a 12 year DS Beast I just ordered my latest & greatest the day before yesterday at least the best I can afford as a 69 tear old dude.

I told my wife to blame Cretae who recommended the system. It was good he gave me his phone number for her to call and have him explain why I spent my kid's inheritance.

I am in Stage 1. Is that the best, meaning it is coming in the next few days? I thought not. But as much as my long dedication is valued by the good people of Digital Storm I wouldn't mind if they bypassed everybody else & just built mine next and sent it to me tomorrow by AIR as a tribute.

Another antique gamer. I'm nearly 68. My new machine arrived today. Now the work of reinstalling all the stuff I had before begins. Hope it all works out well for you.[/QUOTE]

It is up for us Mature Antique Gamers to keep these young Whipper-Snappers in line. It is hard enough not to beat them when we game. I always give the kids a a break when they play with us Veterans!

I wish I had my new system today. I would have stress tested your system till mine arrived if you would have sent it here. I would have made sure it was working proper before I sent it on to you.

I actually had the change out the fan in the middle of my V8 Cool Master on top of the old OC i7 today on my old DS. That was a drag but I had a spare and the the old beast was 12 years old so I don't feel so bad.
