   |  when having items shipped, you always get dumb stuff first I ordered everything for my new machine, I have recieved everything except the motherboard... go figure. Happens every time i order a bunch of stuff. You get everything except for the one part to put it together. Few months back, i ordered a vortech blower for my car. Had to order from a few places on ebay to get all the parts cheap.. i got everything except for the mounting bracket,, which was lost in shipping and i recieved it 2 weeks late,,, go figure I ordered a bunch of xmods rc car stuff,,, i recieved everything except for the titanium frame which holds it all, blehh.. anybody else have any similar stories?

| When I ordered my parts for my new pc (specs below) I received all of the accessories first like my cables, usb flash drive, etc. as they were shipped from New Jersey. It took like 1-2 days extra for the good stuff to arrive from Cali. I bought everything via Newegg

| When i ordered my computer i got my case first. Nothing but my case. Then about 1 week later i got my hdds, cpu fan, dvdrw. Then about 1 week later my motherboard, psu, cpu,gpu. All the important things last. Turns out that psu came dead so i ended up waiting another 3 weeks for an RMA. That wasnt too much fun... |

| Well Mines the opposite almost... See I bought all the stuff Via Newegg in my sig and I orderded a Opteron 170 and it was DOA so I RMA'ed it and I received a 175 for no extra cost. I dont know if it was on purpose or not, but I didn't mind a bit

I am going back to air cooling the gfx cards. Even with water, i didnt get much of an overclock on them, not worth the hassel. I also lost the stock mosfet heatsinks, and i cant find anything good to use, and i dont trust cutting heatsinks that small and using adhesive tape. The HIS ones have awsome stock cooling When quad comes out, i might sell my core 2 and some other stuff and buy it

| Yeah, that just happened to me. I got everything except the motherboard and 2 80mm fans yesterday. The stuff I got came from NJ, the motherboard is coming from Tennessee (it'll be here today though), and the other fans are from Cali and are in Philledelphia. It was all ordered at the same time from Newegg. Thank God I ordered the case a while back. It's kind nerve wracking waiting for an integral part to come.
