3XS Order finally placed and excited :-)

[drharvey12]

Should be ready early next week - once Netsolve are able to book you in.

I'm still very happy with mine and hope you're equally as happy with yours

Moving along nicely:

"Your system is now at stage 7 out of 11, having successfully completed its 24 hour burn in your system is now moving through quality control. At this stage your machine will complete an 88 point check covering all aspects of the 3XS build process and generate a report that's provided with the finished system."


88 points??!!!!!

[jjc_uk]

yours seems to be moving along quicker than mine cactusjack
my build date was 17th but delayed until 18th and seems to be stuck on memory test since Friday the 20th
I have just emailed them to see what the hold up is

Regards
Jim

LOL - it is pretty thorough isn't it. That's one of the reasons I spend my money at Scan. They do take the time and effort to make sure everything works properly......unlike some places I've used in the past!!!

[cactusjack]

Yes I agree - I would rather wait longer to get the system, safe in the knowledge that things work. Am hoping it will be sorted tomorrow so I can get delivery before the end of the week

[Scarletsboy]

I agree happy to wait to get the system right first time

[cactusjack]

Still waiting for the next stage to be completed......

But I have some numbers to report:

3D MARK 2011
SCORE 9778/9778


PERFORMANCE TEST
Score 3393.8/3403.5


Are those good numbers?

At least with 3D Mark it will rank you alongside people with a similar system to your's. That way you know if yours is performing above average or below for instance. Quite handy in that way. If you're way below for instance there is obviously some sort of issue with the PC.

With these tests it's more about knowing what your old and new one scores. Plus is yours comparable with other peoples of a similar specification.

It will mean more to you once you get the PC and are able to look at the results screen in more detail.

[cactusjack]

The system is built and ready for dispatch.
Now I just need to wait for Netsolve to contact me.... or should I contact them to speed this up... hmmm

[drharvey12]

I'm pretty sure they'll get in touch with you quickly. I remember they were able to deliver to me within a day or so........that's when they were able to deliver to me!

Can't wait to see it

[cactusjack]

Hmmm no contact yet from Netsolve.... I rang Scan today to get a contact number for Netsolve.... should I ring or just wait.... so excited :-)

[drharvey12]

Not going to hurt to ring them if you have the consignment number or whatever it is they use.

On a separate note it's nice to see someone who looks forward to getting a new PC as much as I do

[Ecosphere]

Looks like an awesome spec!! I have the K90 keyboard - I love it.
