First things first: 16 days production time, more than fine consideirng a lot of that was waiting for a card I knew would take a while to get in, so thanks to PCS on that (and also for putting up with my endless questions and such 
).
Just to put a counter-point out there to all the negative reviews of Yodel, it arrived on the day, and a reasonable hour, about 12 or 1. The Driver was very cheerful and helpful, and he even helped me get my beast up my rather awkward and tight staircase.
Box and system were in perfect condition, not a scratch. Very well packaged. Sorry there are no pictures my camera battery died about 5 minutes before the delivery (sod's law) and I was way too excited to wait for it to charge before I opened it.
Been running games and high-demand programs like Maya pretty much non-stop the entire weekend without fault so all looking good to me. The only minor point was that in Saturday after about 3 hours of struggling with the SSD Installation speeds, INCREDIBLY slow (I'm talking almost two hours for yahoo messenger). I'm sure it's a matter of just having the right settings and tweeking it, but I was in dire need to try out some games that have been on my shelf for a year so I took the easy route out and reformatted with the HDD as my primary drive (just as a comparison a 4gig game then took 10 minutes to install, so there was a very much noticable difference). I will probably come back to tryign to get the SSD in working order when I get some free time, but it's not a big priority to be honest, shame that i spent so much more on it for such a small amount of space and saw no advantages but my own fault for not doing my research.
In summary, thank you PCS, thank you Yodel, and thank you PCSForums for helping me choose my spec. I WILL post pictures of the system when I get in from work tonight so y'all can join in my revelery
