Is this normal? pre-production to processing?

Thanks

This is just a default email thats sent out after about a week letting you know that your order hasnt been forgotten about or lost

The bit mentioning processing isn't talking about the 'processing' stage, it's talking about the general overalll processing of your order.

8th working day pre-production! This is killing me!

 

[Wozza63]

i dont think they have any windows copies atm, thats why someone upgrded to the professional

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

Where'd you get that little snippet Wozza? Just seems a rather trivial thing to run out of, when compared to GPUs etc

 

[Wozza63]

would have no hope of finding the post but the guy ordered 5 day dispatch and it came up with home premium is currently unavailable, although that doesnt come up with that anymore but when choosing 5 day dispatch it say this

Um, what has this to do with the original post? Try and keep on topic please

Being on the 8th working day and in pre-prod still is nothing to worry about.

 

[Wozza63]

it was on topic, i thought that may have been the reason why its still in pre-production

 

[DaveyP16]

Just rang PCS, they were waiting on my graphics cards, but they are due in today! The excitement builds!

I know they had some problems with stock of the Titan fenrir cooler, so that most likely slowed things down a tad as well. I just hit 14 working days and have went into "building", so here's hoping there's no problems and I can have my new toy early-mid next week.

Also, don't hate me, I ordered 2 3GB 580's and I ordered a few days before you, try not to yell too loud!
