Great news, you must be desperate for the day to go quickly :).

I Just received message today to say mine has been built and now being tested and I'm so excited.

Shouldn't be too long then Vortex! I think mine was at that stage about 4 working days ago so providing everything is alright with it you shouldn't have too long to wait!

Never mind all that, I must commend you on your mad paint skills Snow... :D
Haha to be fair not sure why I blocked out address now that I think of it, you google my name and it gives you our company address since that's my workplace.

Just a quick review

Ordering
This was easy and fun, price updates as you go along which enabled me to backtrack anytime I went over my budget. I ordered the fast three day dispatch, it was built within 3 hours and dispatched the next day, in total it took 2 days to arrive.

Packaging
I had to carry the lil guy home from work in a big box. In case you're wondering how far, I work in Merton and live in Acton, so bing/google maps that and you'll see how far I had to go ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT. It was packaged well as it was held both upright and lengthways and I was worried it might knock around a bit leading to dead pixels on arrival, especially when there has been so many complaints about dead pixels in people's reviews on these forums.

Upon packaging and wiring it up, it was in full working order and I was able to set my user account up, get google chrome <3 and begin downloading and installing about a million games over 120mbs fibre optic.

I managed to get Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, Black Ops, DoTA2 & League of Legend installed within a couple of hours and patched and right now I believe I left it to download RIFT, World of Warcraft & finish patching for DoTA2 Test.

One thing to be noted is 11.6" is not as small as you might think, it games fine! The keyboard and mouse worked fine as plug and play and perform well.

Delivery
It arrived on time and during working hours at our office so I was really happy, I arrived before 9AM to make sure I didn't miss it though.

Performance
First thing that blew me away was playing Starcraft 2 at 105 FPS on Ultra when previously only getting 60~ on medium on my now stolen VAIO and 20 fps on low on the laptop which proceeded it (HP). DoTA2 I knew was going to work since the requirements are similar to that of Starcraft 2. I have yet to of tried any of my MMO games inc D3.


Conclusion
I am pleased with my purchase and it was worth every penny. Overall it's a 9 out of 10, the 1 is because normally you order a notebook and the box comes with hooks or a handle, something similar for ease of carrying, also for obvious reasons the delivery man didn't know what he was carrying but the fragile sign should have given him a hint that you can't just slam it down on the floor to take my signature, just needs to be careful but that's a DPD issue, not with PCS. The packaging however, is on PCS.
