Ordered without the operating system as I have a Windows 7 Ultimate Disc ready for it. Has anyone bought without operating system before? If so do they give you driver discs for the hardware? Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to a very useful music/photo/video editing PC that I can get distracted from and play GTA 4 and NFS The Run on. =D I'll post pics when it arrives!

Having got the same case, my bit of advice would be to be careful how you handle the case as the front partions at the front have a tendency to get lodged inside the machine if you put the slightest bit of pressure on them and the feet at the bottom i've found to be some what a pain in the rear at times, but apart from the things I've mentioned (Not trying to put you off, just a little advice for when it arrives :) ) it's a great case for cooling I know that much in fact after heavy usage on my computer it still doesn't get past 30 degrees (So it says on Coretemp!) Also I see you have the same cooling system too, make sure when you open the side up (With the big fan) that when you put it back the tubes on the cooling system doesn't stop the fan from turning as I found out from experience!

And most of all when it turns up enjoy it :D! Even after a 12 hour shift coming home to 2 massive boxes sitting on my bed was enough to put the biggest smile on my face! What games you planning on playing on it (Assuming that's what its for :) ) ??

Give them an email so you know why it's being delayed, it makes it slightly more bearable! In the meantime, hang in there! We're all in this together, hahaha.
