Yeah dude, I had to! I start shooting a video soon and I couldn't risk a long wait.
Just caught your spec, little drool over the triple monitor set up and the 680's

Nice spec - my mistake was in not fast tracking it.... I feel like Diana Ross, as in "I'm still waiting...."

It's currently in the 4th day, still says in QC where its been for the last 3 days but Monday is the 5th so I'm hoping no issues will arise!!

Will do a sweet pics post in my studio hopefully when it arrives already got my Dell monitor, the 5.1 speakers and the awesome Logitech G510 keyboard all plumbed into my crappy laptop. Just couldn't wait :whistling:

Mine finally went through production yesterday and is now in the 'awaiting despatch' portion of the production process. Hopefully, it'll go out today (Tuesday 3rd), day 11.

Good stuff dude, hope it comes real soon! I'm currently sitting about waiting for my delivery I got a message saying between 12:30 and 13:30 but I'm so excited I'm keeping an eye out already! I have everything like new monitors, mouse, keyboard etc already here and set up ready to go, just gotta plug the cables in!!!!

 

[HelBic]

That sounds great, wish mine comes as soon too. I keep looking at the price and then realise what extra costs I've had on top.... the backpack for it was nearly sixy quid.... argghhhh! Glad my missus doesn't know how much it's cost or I'd be a dead man!

 

[HelBic]

Just thought I'd add a little update here. My laptop has been sitting in 'awaiting despatch' since Monday and I thought I'd give PCS a call to discover why it's not been shipped.

Apparently, they've been awaiting delivery of the Blu-Ray burning software I ordered, which arrived this morning so it will ship today with delivery tomorrow.

Wooooohoooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Enflame]

I am playing this very long and annoying game aswell I am on day 8 and my desktop pc hasnt even left pre-production the wait seems to be like an eternity

 

[HelBic]

It may be worthwhile gioving them a call, they were extremely helpful when I did yesterday. First, they said they'd check if I didn't mind waiting. Then when they came back on the line they told me they'd been waiting for the DVD/Blu-Ray software to arrive before shipping but that it was now in stock so my laptop would be dispatched. Five minutes later I received an email and text message to say my laptop had been dispatched.

Had I not called them, then I wouldn't have known the cause of the dispatch delay and maybe my call triggered the check so that something did happen instead of them going through a check list at the end of the day or however their production procedure works.

I've checked the tracking with DPD and it left their Leeds Depot at 5:30ish last night, arrived at their Birmingham hub around 9:30 and got to my local depot at 2:30 this morning. I will check in a couple of hours to discover the guestimated arrival time.

So to recap, worth giving PCS a call.
