UPS does this sometimes. A driver will decide he doesn't have the time for certain stops so he'll mark it as "tried to deliver" rather than "took too long of a lunch." If it's not there tomorrow, let us know and we'll call them for you.

Looks like we'll both be eagerly waiting on our computers tomorrow. I'm working from home tomorrow so that I'm sure to be here when UPS shows up. Hopefully they won't do to me what they did to you today.

Call the distribution center tell them to hold it then go and get it. That is much more productive than waiting. I had them send mine to the UPS store here in town. Picked it up on the way home. BTW, this system is incredible. I got the ultra case with the blue lighting. The air that blows out of the top and the side is cool on your skin. I am a little confused about the overclock though, it looks like only one of the cores is overclocked, dare I set the other one to the same clock speed? |

They forgot to put my monitor with the computer but they seem quick to make it right. I don't know when that will get here though they just said that they shipped it today. If they didn't overnight it, I sure would have paid to get it here next day. Too bad I work for a living and all :(

Hmmm, Alex, can you speak into this. I've noticed on mine also one core says 2.4 and the other says 3.15. Are both cores supposed to be at 3.15? |

It's here! Everything is great so far. I'll post pictures of it a bit later after I get some programs on here.
The only slight complaint i have so far is its a bit noisy. It's bearable though

Sweet!  Although, mine is extremely quiet with 4/120mm case fans running. Why do I keep hearing people saying theirs is noisy? What are you comparing it to? |

Go to My Computer, right click it and hit Properties. You should see what your CPU is at factory settings and then what it's actually running at.

It means that your original clock speed is 2.40 Ghz and it has been overclocked to 3.12 Ghz. Congratulations

My desk.
 The machine. I absolutely love the flip up ports on the top. Very easy access.
 The internals.
Very nice job DS. I have had no problems whatsoever. Runs perfectly!
Now its time to test out the UT3 demo.
