Waiting is such a drag.

Ugh, 5 Days in Processing and now my third day in pre-production. Mega lame :( I'm kind of wondering how it's going to arrive before Xmas, considering it looks like it takes 3-6 days to actually build plus at least a day or 2 with the postman. Not looking hopeful.

Have faith, once mine got into build it flew through, started being built 14/12, dispatched today 16/12 and I am now tracking it through DHL. Mega impressed so far, just hoping DHL deliver before the impending snow hits again.

When did you order and what spec?

Ugh, forgot about the snow. Luckily I'm down in the southwest so it's not so bad here. Then again, isn't PCS based in Leeds?

About 15 - 20 miles away from Leeds, but we've only got a sprinkling on snow here....at the moment.

also in south west(HEAVY snow tomorrow) My orders in pre-production and was pre 10th of december.
6 working days to go I can't see you getting this to me before christmas day by going through ur proper build proceedures..
Saying that I would rather it come after and not get a rushed built PC

Likewise. Also I'm deliberating on upgrading the GFX card to one of the new 570GTX or 6970 cards, and an extra bit of time to have a look at my finances to see if I can afford it.
Also from what I've heard the build/test/QC stage can take as little as a day or 2. So if that's started on monday there's still a chance we can get our machines before Xmas :)

If you ordered before the deadline, youll get your machine :)

A lot of people are getting confused with the delays with the couriers, we know there isnt snow now for the most part, but its the back log that was created when the snow was actually here, thats what they are catching up on.

Providing we dont get tonked by another act of god, youll have it :)

Guess what, we have!
Pretty much country wide this time, even here in north devon i woke upto about 5 inches of snow this morning, had an urgent job on today and tomorrow but couldn't even get the van off the drive. It's going to be chaos for deliveries next week including mine supposedly.
