Waiting's a b*stard isn't it? And i dont think i can hold up much longer D; but i must say, the service from PCS is outstanding. The updates on where my PC is in the line of production gives me more and more hope! Ordered it on Monday (after having issue's with the PCS site and it not showing my password entry for my debit account) and already it's in the first day of QC! This will be my first gaming machine ever, after putting up with a computer of 512mb ram.. (you may laugh.. for now) for, well 7 years, and a few years ago wanted a new PC but never came around to buying one, but my beast is nearly there.. well i hoped you enjoyed wasting a couple minutes of your life listening, well reading my life story :D heres the spec (it's in my sig too, but ya' know)

Good things come to those who wait. You'll get there eventually, and i can guarantee you'll be glad you waited, cause i know i will be when mine arrives :)

well that depends on weather i get a message saying a part on ur order is out of stock and will take a couple weeks to get in. if that happens i will cancel and shop elsewhere coz i been waiting long enough hehe and parts will only have run out coz of fast tracks going first. but u pay extra you get quicker i understand that but i dont wanna wait weeks more than needed as im on a borrowed laptop from my old man just to log on to net after my pc died lol

Well at least thats better than nothing lol. But yeah, i think you may just be one of the unlucky ones who have to wait a little bit longer, but if you cancel your order, consider re-ordering again from here, but just add on the 5 or 3 day fast track. Plus i don't know of any where else that have such good prices and so much customisable options for a PC, and customing your own PC will tend to have better specs than pre-built ones. You can also ask around the forums here if you do decide to re-order for a spec for what ever your budget is :)

i can go to an old friend who builds pcs and can do it in a day providing he has all parts in or 3-4 day to order parts on next day delivery, i only came here as he was away on holiday

Fair enough, but since you didn't order it on fast track it takes 11 - 13 days, and weekends don't count remember, and you're only on the 9th day! Should be delievered next week if no parts run out of stock. I don't think there is much point on cancelling your order now as you're so far in, and correct me if you're wrong, but i doubt your friend will have as much variety of parts than PCS, but i don't know, i've never met they guy lol. As my threat title says waiting is a b*stard, but just wait, not much longer now :) And remember, they can go through multiple stages in one day, mine went from pre-production to testing in one afternoon (but im not entirely sure if thats because of fast track but nether the less, it may still happen without fast track) so hold on!

i wont cancel now, only if there missing parts will i cancel. i know the spec i want, and he usually keeps most the parts in and if he dont have them at his house he can order the parts online and cos we been friends our whole lifes and i send him buissness when my other friends need pcs he always gives me good deals and discounts ;)

i have no idea lol. im going absolutly nuts as i cant play my online games and im missing alot of raids lol. only have access to internet by "borrowing" my dads laptop lol hence why im bordering on cancelling if my order gets delayed with missing parts lol as its bordering on frustrating clicking refresh on the orders page every 20 mins and not seeing a change lol

I think the best way to cope, is to keep your self busy somehow dont ask me how, i don't know my self lol. Do some work or what ever, watch telly, maybe a few films. Just anything to make the hours go past!
