    I would like to thank Donald@HIDevolution for walking me through this build. His knowledge and patience were admirable. Kudos.

    I also would like to thank all the posters on this board. As a longtime lurker, you gave me the feeling that I made the right decision for my purchase.

    Hopefully if Samsung gets their 960 Pro delivered on time I'm going to have a great New Year!

    Update 12/11 - I'm officially in pre-production! One step closer...

    Time for a quick update:

    My build was completed yesterday! Waiting on a tracking number so I can obsessively follow the package as it travels across the country. Still hoping for that New Year's delivery!
