Hello all. I just ordered by first Maingear a few days ago. I've been looking forward to getting a new computer since about this time last year. That is when my current machine started showing signs of aging even after upgrades.
So far I'm happy with the options I have been given and the staff seems on top of things. One thing I do wish knew is exactly what stage my computer is in right now. I did receive an e-mail from the engineer welcoming me, asking if I would like any games pre-installed and if I had any questions. I responded back with a few questions and its been a few days. The e-mail was sent right before the long weekend and I do work until fairly late in the evening so I'm not sweating the e-mail tag too much at this point. I know I've been charged so somethings going on I just wish I had a few updates and an ETA. Sitting at work not knowing when I'll have my rig is driving me insane!
If anyone has a Beast as a base for their rig I'd love to know what its like.
Heres mine. It has what I need for the time being with plenty of room for growth.
Exterior Automotive Color: Silver Aluminum Finish (Never had silver before so I thought I'd change it up!)
Power Supply: Seasonic SLI Extreme Gaming Edition- S12-600W
Motherboard: Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe v2.0
Processor: X6800 Core 2 Extreme Edition
CPU Cooling: Intel Quiet CPU Cooler
Memory: 2GB Corsair XMS2-8500 DDR2-1066
Hard Drive One: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache - SATA II
Flash Card Reader: 7-in-1 Internal USB 2.0 Card Reader w/ Floppy Drive
Optical Drive One: 16X DVD-ROM - Black
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT 256MB PCIe
Sound Card: Onboard 8-channel High Definition Audio (I have a sound blaster at home already)
Network Card: Dual Gigabit LAN
Anyway take care I'll update when I hear something.
