How do you handle the excitement???

[Skitch2]

Ok it's been a few days and i have tried Scrabble, drinking heavily, sleeping pills , anti depressants and hypnotherapy (tried to contact Darren Brown to wipe it from my brain but it would cost more than my shiny new gaming rig) but to no avail the wait is killing me!! do i have to resort to cutting out pictures of gtx 680s?? i have watched all of the Ncix tech tips on you tube and i'm now out of options.
Any help would be cool at this juncture lol.

Tidy your desk and room for your rig! Got to have tidy photo's!

1 - Amend your order!!! We all do this, it must be done! normally a minor amendment to improve something.

2 - do research for additional components and hardware you could add to your rig! ideas may include, case fans, fan controller, lighting - either cathode or led, hard drives, ssd's, the list goes on

Like a 3rd GTX 680
I did plenty of amendments on my order just be strong it was tough when it was pay day. You could start purchasing games or look at other peripherals that you may want to add.

I think I abused steam for a while before getting my rig... it was a bit odd purchasing a game before I could actually play on it.. and it was fun to have several large things to download when I got my PC up and running - all worth it in the end though.

Yup I did this. Bought Counterstrike, Walking Dead and Amnesia all on Steam Sale. Browsed these forums endlessly while I was at work and spent my evenings mindlessly playing Fifa so that the time would go quicker.

I have my rig now and it's everything I imagined but better ^^

I remember yesterday i was so eager to get off work and get home! Contemplated breaking the speed limit home, but im too scared of getting caught

The excitement is unreal when you get your hands on that box and a knife

 

[Skitch2]

Well, my man cave is well prepared and ready for it!
I am so far out of the gaming loop i wont know what to do first lol!
I bought Crisis 1 years ago and have never installed it because my Dell Dimension 8300 wouldn't handle it
Finished HL2 20 times! I know Crisis 2 off by heart from youtube but never played it.
PC is about as spec'd out as it can be without getting overly silly (£3,325 is silly enough) so ill leave it as it is
but thank you all for your great coping ideas i am sure ill manage now.

Steaky, do you not think your PC is overkill??

 

[Skitch2]

I was gonna get the Cosmos II Ultra as it is the greatest looking case ever. The problem was the fact that it is bigger than our dishwasher and wouldn't fit into my cave!

I don't, it's exactly what I paid for and I love it! Only thing it needs are two more monitors

Yeah the case is pretty big, definitely looks the part though!

Hey man, will you post your specs soon??

 

[Jaymee-Nausica]

If its In Build or Built stage, you cant really Amend an order for hardware can you kz its already built right...?

 

[steaky360]

I think you can but you've got to pay an admin fee...

Mine wasnt nothing Major I just wanted them to mount the cages on the CM Trooper a certain way . lol They Emailed me like 30mins ago to update me on the stage level going into Built. I just dropped them an inbox message on my User Account thing with my order number in the title and just made an inquiry about it, to see if it was possible for them to do it, if they cant, not to worry, its not a big deal, but it was just a preference. Worth a try, I could maybe ring them.....
