Ordered Sentia Thursday(day before yesterday) phase three as of 2200 yesterday currently in phase nine (1040 Today)...from the posts in this forum I thought it would take much, much longer...just hope it keeps clipping along at that speed.
And if anyone has pics of the space black case, I'd really, really, appreciate it...

Was hoping for some data as to how well it handles 3D intensive applications...really big ones. it's no big deal though.

BTW Craig, I'll get onto it A Sap. would you prefer the Waltz, Salsa, Cha-cha, Charlston, or some form of swing? (so long as it isn't just that full frontal snogging junk people do now days...and I won't just dance at her, I have to be dancing with her.)

I see you went all out, but I'm curious. Why only the 40GB drive and not the 60GB drive? I noticed the 200GB external but wouldn't it be nice to have the 60GB available while on the go?

You should get 2 gigs corsair ram for $150 less + sell your 256MB that comes stock, pick up a bigger HD and go out to a nice dinner with the left over money. TALK ABOUT GOING ALL OUT ON THE SET UP! I am jealous

I don't plan on having the hard drive ever filled on this comp (the most I've ever put on a HD is 26GB so 60 would just be a lot more than I'd ever use, the 200GB external is to backup all the data from my varius computers.

Well, I was feeling just a bit frivolous when I was ordering so...

Still in Phase nine though-but as it's a weekend, I really shouldn't expect it to move until monday...

Nice rig- you'll appreciate the 755 chip and the 2 GB RAM.... FWIW, I'm happy with the Intel Graphics chip- check out the gaming posts.

i understand you man!!! i have just recieved mine (some hours ago, i dont really know, because my timeline went all crazy, havent slept a thing and still playing with it). the graphics are much better than i expected, it arrived on time and it works fine. got a bit intense on the last stages of the witing process, but hey!
by the way, your hard drive rocks, i got the same with 60 gigs. but speed is what is important i think. congratulations dude, you got yourself a computer that will dance with the ladies for you (and make you breakfast at the same time).
