It is here
On the 13th working day my PC is here.
I am really happy with how PC Specialist handeled my delivery even after making 4 amendments. The computer was in 'Pre-Production' for quite a while, however it still arrvied in the time scale I was told.
The PC is super fast, but I spent most of the day installing Windows 7 and updating most drivers.
One thing I didn't realise was that my front facing fan was unplugged, after opening the case once again I saw the lead and looked for a matching opposite socket and found it, now the case glows red

9/10 from me for thew whole experience. Lost the one because of the limited amount of options when looking to buy a custom PC, however an absolute great company with intalligent staff both on Forum and in Customer service.
Also just want to test out the graphics and I see that most people are using Crysis/ Crysis 2 as a benchmark, do you purchase the game or can I download a demo just to try out.
A pic of the Set-up tomorrow once I've tidied up.
