I decided that my PC needed to be updated for what I was going to be doing with it. I requested help from the wonderful people on the forum to help select out the right parts that would make an amazing gaming machine but will also be great when I come down to animation and video editing.

After about 14 days in the pre-production phase I was starting to get worried, the average wait in this stage is usually about a week. I fired of an e-mail and within 12 hours I got an e-mail explaining why there was a delay. It turns out that the case that I had requested (CORSAIR GRAPHITE SERIES™ 600T WHITE MID-TOWER CASE) was not in stock and that they had an order arriving between the 6th - 8th of May. They gave me the choice to wait a couple more days or change out the case for one that they already had in stock. I decided to wait a couple more days for the case originally ordered.
As soon as the case had been delivered I recieved an e-mail from them telling me that the case had arrived (I didn't ask for this so I was quiet surprised). Within the next 3 days the PC had gone through building, testing, quality control and being dispatched. I couldn't have asked for a quicker build than that.
When the box turned up there was no damage on it at all which showed to me that it had been handled with care. After opening the box I knew that there was no way that anything could have been damage with how securely it had been packed.
A lovely welcome box with all the additional software that I had bought. And the trusty power cable, all safely packed.
The case out of its secure box to find even more protection inside the case, just what you want to see.
MORE PICTURES ON THE WAY!
