Hi all, this may seem like a silly post but I need my mind putting to rest.
This morning at about 7am I ordered the 'Intel Z77 Ivybridge 10200i Configurator - Extreme Gaming System' via the system config options with pretty much everything changed from the defaults to components of my choosing.
I was expecting this to take the estimated 2 days to build and ship but I've already had an email stating it's on it's way to me.
Now I'm not complaining about amazingly fast service but it's made me worry that it can be built that fast. It can't be pre made as I've chosen different options so they've managed to make it and stress test it already?
I'm just a worrier by nature, especially when I'm spending 1k on a machine...
Have many others ordered the custom builds?

Whats the rough spec?
Overclocked?
WC?

If its just the basic system (when I say basic, I mean no heavy overclock or custom WC), then I guess OCUK could knock one out in a day. Baring in mind you ordered before business, so that gives them until 5pm to build.

Re utilising my own thread. I've also posted this is customer support but waiting on a response there, thought I would ask you guys too.
I've just opened my new system and taken the packing out but on looking at the drive bay I noticed that the solid state drive is on two different runners so is sitting diagonally. This doesn't seem right. Is this normal? I don't really want to turn the system on yet if it isn't.

How come you went for a Sandisk Ultra SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA II Solid State Hard Drive which uses sata 2 ? I thought you would have got a sata 3 ssd to get the higher speed.
