Over a week since my order and still my rig-to-be sits in a component bin collecting parts (and probably a bit of dust by now).  Cry

I'm crossing my fingers for Stage 3 to begin very soon.

I was supposed to be ready to buy about  a month and a half ago, but two large unexpected debts drained my computer fund, one of them happening a week before i was to order......lol. So now im building up again! So just be happy your order is at least in motion =P im still at Stage 0.

It's not pathetic Sunfighter.  I did that too.  I asked questions here and in other forums and did a lot of research.  I also bugged DS staff with questions.  I sent myself about 30 emails from DS' configuration pages before finally clicking on BUY CONFIGURATION.

I was doing the same thing 2 weeks ago with the config option. I think I had 30 different configs in my email at one time.

Having the System of the Beast wouldn't be such a bad thing.  Of course red cathode lights would be the way to go.  Maybe you could name it 'Rig of the Underworld' or 'The Devil's Toybox'.
