And here she is :D (I have ordered a Sandybridge overclocked build haven't I?)

I've given myself the option to SLI with the Pro board later if I feel like it, but if I don't then its not a problem as it's not much money to have the option ;)

Now it's time to play the waiting game! Oh and please feel free to criticize my build if you see something wrong with it so I can amend it.
Obligatory pictures when it arrives :)

Looks like a good spec to me! The only thing I'll flag up is that you have chosen a TX750 PSU, if you're thinking you "might" for for GTX 570 Sli then I'd rather see the TX850 PSU in there. Apart from that, it's a great pc.

Other than that all you are missing is an SSD =P

My order has been dispatched already? :eek:
Can't get through to anyone at home...lazy brother of mine. Hopefully it comes tomorrow and not today.

I was thinking it would come in May...can't complain about quick service though :D

If it was dispatched today, it will not turn up til tomorrow, it's on a next day delivery service.
And the next 24 hours will take the longest time ever :)

This week has felt like an eternity already with me counting the days down to an early weekend. Really glad that I might recieve it tomorrow as I'll have Easter to play around with it.

Who needs this wonderful sunshine when my PC monitor can keep my face lit :tt2:
