Hahaha, I'll post pics just for you mate ;) I actually think posting pics is the least I can do given how much support and assistance everyone has given me. Such a great community here!

Hot damn, that rig should absolutely FLY!
+1 to looking forward to pics :D

I'm hoping for good things from it that's for sure. If there's a particular benchmark or test people would like me to run (and I have the ability to run it) just post in this thread and I'll try and make it happen for you :)

Still waiting on the system goes. Mwave said beacuse the system was so powerful and expensive, the assembly and testing were quite time consuming. I should have the new box this week and then I can start running benchmarks

Hopefully they will do all the windows and graphic updates for you if they are building it!

[ibtrollin]

They better! After the amount of time I've had to wait.

Haha.. it takes the same amount of time to build a white box as it does to build a gaming PC, add an extra 20-30 mins for anal cable management if they want to put a nice touch on it.
If anything the software installation would take less time due to the powerful machine, I can understand wanting to test it properly, but again, this won't take longer than any other machine.
I would wager they are probably benching it and playing with it before you get your hands on it :)

You could assemble it yourself in under and hour, and test it overnight for stability, 12 hours+. If I am to understand it has taken over 2 weeks so far they are either waiting on stock or feeding you excuses.. doesn't sound right anyway.

Sorry I didn't check in to steer you away from a Black Widow earlier, they are among the worst mechanical keyboards available.. and they are prone to failure. Also the MX blue switches are very loud too, you might want to replace them with quieter switches once you get it. I am sure you have your reasons for chosing it though, you seem to have done your research on the competition. It all comes down to preference with things like keyboards. That said, I am a huge fan of Razer mice, best I've ever used, just not the Black Widow.

Looks like it is going to be a beast anyway, let us know how you get on with the new machine, like the others have said, and how you're overclocking goes. Should easily do anything you require of it for quite some time!

[gamble]

Right on man, have fun!

Pics and benchmark results shall be forthcoming. Thanks once again to everyone for the interest, advice and support.

I've just uploaded some benchmark results in the thread here: http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=41178

Let me know what you think guys :)
Thanks again for your help.
