I had the noise dampened version of the Obsidian case and the SoundBlaster Zx. Haswell Core i7 4770K @4.6GHz, 16GB 2133 DDR3, Asus GTX780 3GB and Samsung 840 SSD. Most of all it's fast, quiet and its green.

Well packaged, even courier-proof:

Neat workmanship:

Colourful and works well:

Yes, the price has certainly dropped since I ordered mine. I would certainly say it is very good value at that price.

It is quiet anyway, but I'm sure the noise dampening helps. The only times I really notice the noise is when the PSU fan cuts in, but that doesn't happen often and it is only for a short time. Temperatures are reasonable too, for me the GPU sticks to 80 in Haven Valley and the CPU is around 70-75 running Prime95.
 
OCUK seem to have no issue with you adding or changing components yourself and actually encourage it if you wish to do so, after all selling components is their main business. I have already added 2 more drives to my machine (ones I already had from a previous system I built myself).
 
Just contact customer support.
I had the same issue, but thought it was just an isolated case, they shipped a DVD rewriter to me the same day.
It seems the ordering process is missing the DVD drve from the build sheet.

Yeah fair play to the guys though they've sent me one out to be with me before 12 tomorrow. Was your "System Information" showing the correct CPU cos mines showing an i5 4670k, but I'm not sure if any drivers have been installed cos I can't get online! I get "no network adaptor installed" so when I get home from work I'm gonna download the Gigabyte drivers on a USB stick and have a play!

Both in the BIOS and in the Widows System Information mine says Core i7 - 4770K.
There are two versions of the system - the Extreme Envy with the 4770K in the Obsidian 650D case, GTX780 and Z87-D3HP motherboard, and the Titan Envy with the 4670K in the Obsidian 350D case and Gigabyte Sniper motherboard, GTX770 + lots of other nice goodies, it depends which you ordered as to which processor you got.

No problems with mine, it has been working nicely, no crashes, no extreme CPU temperatures. The graphics card fan span up a few more times than usual in the really hot temperatures, but controlled it well and kept it below 80.
