This sucks.... :(

This really sucks.

I was going to start on a new build tonight for my parents.

Ordered everything from NewEgg, and 3 out of 4 of the boxes came....
but not what I needed to start the build.
Just got the case, speakers and monitor.

dam....the HD, optical drives, RAM, CPU, heatsink, fans, etc. are all in the box that
didn't arrive....

Now I have to wait till Tuesday for that last box.

I was planning to start the build this weekend....oh well.

I know that feeling...

One thing you can do while you wait is work on bundling the PSU wires and formulating a plan to run them cleanly through the case to maximize airflow...

 

[darkswordsman17]

I feel for ya. Happened a couple of times to me.

Actually, I had ordered two 256MB SD cards for my camera and hoped they'd get here before this weekend so that maybe I could take a bunch of 4th of July pictures. Oh well. I'll be using them a week later when I go on vacation.

This actually happens to me all the time. The most important components either arrive last or are defective and I need to RMA them. Extremely annoying.

I would LOVE to do that, but the PSU was in the last box too dammit.

Ordered an Antec PSU seperately.
Antec case P160....Sweet case.

What I will do is install the Mobo Front Panel and prep the case as much as possible.

 

[lavagirl669]

Maybe I can sit around and polish that nice shiny aluminum
Antec case too....ha

I think this is Fedex' fault dangit!
They were all shipped at the same time.

I alwayse get my parts in one large box, even if it's only a muvo^2. It came in a 50x50x50cm old monitor box.

don't polish unless you wish to remove the clearcoat(if it doesn't have a protective paintlike coating go ahead with polishing..use Meguiars or Mothers ) ..can install front case fans as you are fiddling with the front panel..

Thanks....I won't
was just kidding anyway.

Sucks even more when the shipment does finally show up and something's broken. My new Antec SLK3700AMB has two broken clips on the front - one was outside of the case by the time I got it; the other was just barely hanging on. I bought some Plastic Welder epoxy today; going to see if it can bond to the plastic cover. If not, I'll try to get a replacement from Newegg. I figured I'd try to repair it, rather than just sending it to its death in a landfill right away.

FEDEX always does that, I odered RAM and Ceramique, they shipped 2 seperate days, o wait, except one day they delivered the RAM while I was sleeping (10 in the morning) and then I got them both the next day because I signed that drop of slip. I'm not too crazy about FEDEX, but the egg rocks

 

[lavagirl669]

Yes, the Egg definitely rocks!

 

[Cerb]

Yup...the waiting, the waiting...

 

[lavagirl669]

and the waiting for the guys you're building it for
the nagging the nagging

If only they ship internationally.

 

[imported_SpitFire]

heh i've had everything for my system come on a friday... Then one box did't come. What did it contain? Oh just the heatsink for the processor That was anoying

 

[caz67]

Yes, its an awful feeling. I am still waiting for my card to arrive.

 

[lavagirl669]

still waiting....at least got the case ready and posted a couple questions about that earlier
if anyone knows.

I did get my Vid card last week though! Ha

I could have been finished with this by tomorrow....oh well
there goes my week.
