ok guys here is an update tried to go into origenal thread but there is a problem so I am posting in new for now here are some pics DS sent me and keep an eye out for my review will also be video taping the open of the box to setting it all up will be posting on you tube will let you know when it is up

sorry I am posting this update late but had some medical thing's to take off so forgive me for my tardyness

as of 11/30/2012 thats a friday lol my beast machine was picked up for frieght
Alex and his team at DS was so kind and upgraded me to it, I had it going by fedex at first, and I still have no words to thank them, it was the coolest thing they said it was ready for shipping but that Alex would not give the green light, then they surprised me with the notice that they where going to send it by frieght because they new how much this rigg means to me and wanted to make sure it was delivered in perfect condition as my dream computer should be they siad it only shows more what DS will do for costumers ie. people, I will get more into that in the review and video I will be making of the unboxing and set up, I will also still put up pics a lot off pics hahaha
 
anyways its on it's way, I don't know how frieght works never had the only information I can get is ETA 12/10/2012 no other info will come up with the tracking number last update was it arrived at city of industry--linehaul arrived 12/4/2012, I don't know for sure how to track any further and take my word when I say I am going crazy waiting for it to arrive lol I just can not wait any longer and my brother say he is not going to stop playing on his until mine comes he just keeps teasing me with his, wich is unfare since I bought it for him he didnt have to wait he didnt know he was getting it hahahaha just jesting but if anyone knows how I can track this or if I shouldnt even worrie that it wont be sooner then the ETA date would love the inp

Did you notice the exterior cooling fan on the left side of the 1st pic?  Wink

No, I asked the question about the CPU clock

I was only curious because we have a very similar build and my CPU (3970) is set to 4.6, but I do not have cryo-tec cooling.

I'm also getting freight to Illinois... Hoping it doesn't take two weeks because I'm leaving home until Jan 2 starting on Dec 21... Maybe I should change to air? hmmm

I was looking at the specs on @Zend's first computer, the Aventum he ordered has an overclock of 4.6GHz (4.588Ghz to be exact) on his 3930K CPU.

Thanks, Zend! The transit time is quoted as 4 days, so if they stick to that, it should arrive before I leave... Lets just hope it is picked up soon... I passed stage 7 on 12/03 and my comp still hasn't left DS. Alex, would you know why this is?

@MarkNY, I recommend speaking to our team directly for your update, if it's Stage 7, it should be shipping or shipped already.

I called yesterday and the DS rep wasn't able to tell me why it takes a week or more to ship after passing stage 7 on Monday, December 3, so I was wondering if that had something to do with the freight option.
