my Pc is now on its 13th working day, 10 days of pre-pro and now 3 days of building (it was actually built on tuesday morning) i assume ive got at least a week to wait still, ive now run out of things to occupy my time, i hadnt thought it would take this long tbh.
how did you all spend the time waiting?
ive sorted all the programs i need, all the games, spent far to much time watching youtube videos of other people playing the games ive got sitting in front of me, ive sorted the environment the PC will be placed in, got all the bits of tech i need, what do i do now?
any advice would be much appreciated

Do what I'm doing, sit and press the refresh button continously.

They must have a lot of PC's waiting for testing, mine was built on Tuesday morning like yours, and I'm also waiting for it to change to testing status.

Was hoping to get it by the weekend, missus is away for the weekend, would've just me and me beautiful PC for a dirty weekend xD...

Pooh happens I suppose, at least it's been built and not sitting and waiting for parts.

exactly the same boat minus the missus, ive got a weekend free of anything distracting to do and with Deus Ex coming out a week on friday i wanted the time to organise the beast ready to play but alas i shall have to do it in a week night i suppose, probably end up not sleeping and get sent home from work for being useless

When I rang on Tuesday, the bloke I spoke to when I checked in on the caviar black 750gb's, to find out if they were out and was gonna be delayed, well he said my PC should be ready by the start maybe end of next week, so that kinda hinted towards a queue around the testing/quality control department.

That said, this guy http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forum...as-arrived!-(pics-included)&p=76927#post76927

had his PC ordered 2 days before me. Dunno whether they got a massive influx of orders around that time or what's up with the holdup.

(oops, just noticed, he ordered fast track, maybe that's why we're stuck at the back of the line? :( )

i know what you mean though i keep reading about all these other people who ordered a fair while after i did and they got theirs delivered already, i guess we're the unlucky ones, i doesnt help that everyone i speak to there tells me something different, but, hey ho i suppose theres nothing to be done about it

If you do ring em again during the day, ask em if there's some kind of holdup at the testing/Quality check department and lemme know :p Can't ring from work here and I'm stuck here 'til 7:30pm :(

My pc went into awaiting dispatch at 12pm yesterday and it says on the website if its in that area before 3pm it will be dispatched that night. Wake up and its still in awaiting dispatch. Canceled my plans today so someone would be here for it to be signed for. -__- peeved to the max.

If its set to dispatch and an email confirmation of dispatch is received, not awaiting dispatch, that is usually true.

we got an email saying it was ready for dispatch yesterday but nothing else. Will pcs refund me for the pizza i just cried on?

Apparently its not been packaged by anyone yet so my pc have like either a) been packaged and sent but not been updated or fighting against the packagers... I've spent the last 2 weeks basically whacking f5 and waiting for it to move to each new stage before grinning like a serial killer. Hope it is coming today though :/. Hope yours comes soon aswell.
