    Talking Re: Buying my first scan 3xs system, advice?

    Yeah! Placed my order this afternoon for my first Scan 3xs system. Despite the initial problems with my payment everything eventually has gone through. Now I just have the agonising wait for it to be built and arrive with me.

    I am sure I will be once it gets here.

    All these build pictures are getting so tiresome...

    Ahh the cabling is always so neat and tidy.

    System looks pretty mean

    So when does the step ladder get intalled into the case?

    My thoughts exactly. If only they did a version that was smaller than my front door !

    It does look fantastic though, really sweet and I guess you can justify the cost on the basis that you can either live in it or sublet it to a small family.

    Cool, cheers for the update and the pics Philip, on the ball as always

    All looks great, bit worried about your fire extinguisher comment though lol. Where is that extended scan warranty option again??? lol.


    System looks great though, really pleased with it, feels like Christmas finally getting to see it.
    Thanks once again.

    oO fire extinguisher and step ladder mods to the build...liking it!

    When you guys at SCAN QC test the systems do you do anything like 3dMark Vantage? Be great to see a build log and 3DMark vantage scores (and other benchies); it would be useful for other prospective buyers to see what kind of system they maybe getting.
