Ordered on the 10th, went straight to processing.
The big 40 on the 18th.
Have a guestimate!

I went with the 18th, your birthday.
As that weird girl with the eye patch once said, dreams can come true.

I ordered my new PC on the same day so it will be interesting to see whose arrives first and how long it takes in the end...
My order has been stuck on 'Processing' since day one - I wonder if that ever changes!

Ah, edmfinch, the race is afoot!
Bet you a pint I get mine first.
@matt - that pic is truly disturbing
@Meds - this is just a bit of fun, we/I know there are thousands of variable factors that can go into a build.
Im just excited, (for the machine that is, not for turning 40)

Life begins at 40 Frank, an old fellow once said.

Happy Birthday! Looks like you will win...
Happy Birthday Frank
I was informed this morning that my PC has made it to Pre-Production but I see yours is already in Testing so it looks like you will win the virtual pint!
Be interesting to hear how it goes...
Cheers Ed.

hello all,
Crikey, so this is what it feels like to be 40 eh?
It's alot like being 16 again, except far, far worse, and with no prezzies of Lego or Action Man stuff.
Anyhoo, enough of my senile ramblings.
@edmfinch - Virtual pint? poo...
On a PC related note, my machine is a barebones unit, missing a lot of bits and bobs due to cash restraints, (for eg i'm going to use my ancient original Soundblaster Audigy Platinum from way back in 2001 as my sound card) so if yours is a fully fledged PC, one would assume that it'll take a bit longer to iron out any wrinkles.
@PCS, ta for the info. Being a sad old git, I check the status as soon as I wake up, so that's a nice bonus to me birthday.
@everyone else, have a piece of virtual cake one me.
The impression I get from the board is that the chaps here seem to be fairly busy with every day work and builds and so the turnaround time seems rather good imho.
I guess, we are all used to the instantaneousness of the internet and get over excited when an order takes more than a day or so to arrive.
This is the first time since around the early 90's that ive had a machine built to order rather than scratch built or just bought off Dell, so i'm actually looking forward to seeing the build quality/interior cable tidyness etc to compare.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Cant wait to play Arma again!
