The system arrived today as scheduled, in perfect condition. Fired right up and is purring along as I speak. The inside looks great, by the way. Very professionally assembled, unlike so much of the custom stuff that is often found elsewhere. Having owned a computer store and built a great many machines myself, I always admire those who take the time to bundle and secure, cables properly, etc. Thanks again!
