Wow, what a difference a few months makes!I ordered a second Area-51 5300 SFF for my home office - the build time was 4 working days compared to 6 weeks on my first unit. Hopefully everything on this order will run as flawlessly as the first.

Props to Christina and Susan at AW for helping me fix my order by getting the right optical drive added!
Thanks to all at AW!
I'm twiddling thumbs waiting for the shipment to arrive by ground. It looks like it's going to take longer to deliver than to build!
