New to the list with a FX7 on the way - Page 2

Sorry to hear that you won’t get it in time bjiceman, it would probably save you some money in Vegas. Have fun anyway.

Here is the latest update on my FX7. The machine is still being built , the custom graphics are taking some time to do. Hypersonic contacted me today at let me know that they are putting in the Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX PCI Express 512MD in my system.
Now I can not really wait to get my machine. Will let you all know when it gets here.

UPDATE:
I received an email last Friday asking me for the customs graphs that I want. My machine has been at the paint shop for over four weeks now and someone has realized that they can not find the file that I sent when I ordered. I guess it will be another three weeks before I get my machine. At this rate, I will be an old man by the time I get my machine. (No need to commit on that ratmyr)

Pat, the next day I contacted Brian, Steve and Allie and we worked out the problem. What happened was the graphic that I sent was not of high enough quality. When Steve wrote me asking for the graphic, he did not say that, he wrote that they need the graphic. After about one hour on the phone with all three, we have configured a new machine and they now have a new and better graphic to work with.
Thank you for your support.

Update:
Changed from FX7 to EX7. After reading about the many problems other were having with the FX7 I had the chance to change to a EX7. I live in Germany and did not want to be sending my machine back and fourth over the big pond.
The new build looks like this now

Yes I know that if one hard drive fails I have lost all my data, so I keep back ups on a file server with 1.3 terabyte. I will let you know if it screams once I get it.

I received my machine yesterday. The paint and custom graphs are sweet . I will be putting some pictures in this weekend. I started loading and configuring it last night and will finish tonight. So far I am very impressed with it. I will write all that up in my review in a few weeks.
