Thanks to all those that have given advice to me on here unk:

 

[FacetiousPizza]

Looks good. You better post pics if you want that +rep

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

This is a nice PC, she will serve you well!

Fingers crossed for a speedy build.

DED

 

[LeeKyles]

Nice spec, I hope you get it soon. Pfft I hope I get mine soon too

 

[danielw2599]

In building already!

I know I went for the fast track option but considering I only placed the order yesterday evening that is impressive!

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

Well if they are going to hit the 5 day target, gotta get it built so it can be properly tested Just think, this time next week, you can be wallowing in PCS goodness!

 

[danielw2599]

Oh yes, hopefully be able to play FSX in all its glory....or at least most of it

 

[LeeKyles]

Mines skipped to in building (wednesday) the day after I ordered too (tuesday) but its still there damn me for the standard build. Its destroying my soul I probs won't even get mine next week. Are you like me and find yourself refreshing your order page about a million times a day. I hope you have better patience than me.

 

[danielw2599]

I have a fair amount of patience, after all, Ive been waiting a year as it is I'm actually in a fortunate position as I am annual leave this week and next week, back to work for a few days and then I have about 9 rest days so either way I have plenty of time.

 

[danielw2599]

One step closer...now in testing

 

[LeeKyles]

Your so lucky, WHY didn't I do the fast build option

 

[danielw2599]

Ha Ha lol obviously flew through testing as for the last couple of hours its been in QC.

and to think...I wasn't gonna bother with the fast track service

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *jumps out window*

 

[danielw2599]

Its now awaiting dispatch so I imagine it will be here either tomorrow or Friday. Thanks to everyone at PCS for the quick turn around

 

[LeeKyles]

Im at that stage now too, can't wait

 

[danielw2599]

It arrived about an hour ago Haven't got time to give it a good playing with as I have to go to work soon and I'm at folks house but everything seems in order and everything looks like its connected up correctly.

FSX installed in less then 7 minutes and the PC cuts through it on full settings without any problems. But this is with default aircraft, so I expect to take a little hit when I install the PMDG aircraft.

All in all very impressed with the computer and with PCS so thanks all! Will post up pics once its at home and in place.

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

Good to hear! As you say, FSX will at least be give it a good test, the hungry beasts that all flight sims are
