Vigor got back to me again now to confirm that my order has been passed through to production.
So far so good...
Just an update to those of you who were helping me/following this:
As of today- Just a couple of hours ago my computer went into assembly and may be shipping as early as Thursday.
Still- So far so good :2thumbsup:
Update:
As of 45 minutes ago, the assembly of the PC was listed as complete and the Q/C is in progress.
Parts Prep was like 5 days and Assembly was 1 day. I couldn't imagine Q/C could take any longer than 1 day...2 at most.
I'd like it to ship tomorrow because it can't on Sunday. 2 Day Air. If it ships tomorrow, it's here Saturday. So...
But it continues to go along smoothly...
It is the waiting that is murder. At least with the tracking software delivery companies have today, you can track its progress to your door. Back in the day, you had to stand at the window with your nose pressed up against it looking down the street for the delivery truck for days on end. And then when you saw it, you'd pray it would stop at your house. :laugh4:
At the very least the tracking software provides an activity to pass the time while you wait...and have a ballpark idea, of course.Quote:

Hopefully they ship soon so all of this madness will end. :yes:
That's like when Seagate shipped my replacement hard drive. It was made even worse by the fact I had a perfectly good gaming computer - with only one component missing!
that really sucks lol...
I have a bag with a new cable modem, ethernet cable, 2 games, etc...all just sitting there and I won't even look at it and tease myself. Waiting at least until this thing ships :juggle2:
few days? Lucky..
Some people waits new comp for years due to financial problems *sigh*....
I kind of know how they feel though...I've attempted to buy this type of setup for about 10 years now.Quote:

I didn't win money or anything though, I worked. So, I'm only so "lucky". I doubt many would want to walk in the shoes I've walked in the majority of my life.
Update:
Computer is shipping today. Q/C is apparently, the longest step. I looked into Vigor Gaming and it is the norm for Q/C to take anywhere from 4-9 days standard. "Quality Control" apparently includes the installation of the operating system, installation of all additional software, testing, packaging, and finally shipping. Q/C will not be listed as complete until the product has shipped and you've received your tracking number for the shipment.
All in all, I further researched other high rated companies in this industry and it seems that I actually am getting this done pretty quickly. In the end, it will be 13 days total wait- from time I placed the order, to time it reaches my front door. Apparently, waiting 3-6 weeks is quite common with some other companies. So this isn't that bad...
Really the only aspect of this purchase that I underestimated. I didn't realize that it took so long to have a PC built. Now I know.
Either way, I should be posting from my new PC by Wednesday afternoon :2thumbsup:
Once it ships, the real waiting is over (basically now). Wednesday will get here ASAP.
Update:
Wednesday will indeed be the day. Packages were shipped on time yesterday and they are currently in Philadelphia (they wanted to see the Liberty Bell). No question, they'll be here tomorrow :balloon2:
Waves to AoW's new pc as it passes... ~:wave:Quote:

Everything arrived on time and as far as I can tell in 5 or 6 hours so far- Flawlessly.
I've already called Vigor several times today with hardware related questions (basically- triple checking that they didn't shortchange me on hardware specs or put the wrong hardware in the system). Not only have they spent unlimited time with me during each call, they were extremely pleasant and forthcoming about everything. Still to this moment, they've been outstanding.
As far as the PC goes- It's amazing. Love it already. Vista is gorgeous, everything just FLIES, the sound is fantastic, I mean...I'm slightly overwhelmed. Have never had a PC like this even near my house, let alone hooked up and ready to go.
I'm going to start installing some programs...and I'm sure I'll wind up going right into playing some games. I'll definitely be back around later tonight or tomorrow though.
Once again (we'll talk later heh)- Thanks to everyone who helped me in this thread. I'm on the end result right now and ...it's perfect.
p.s.- The tower is also gorgeous...with scaled windows and a neon blue case light beaming out the windows. Black case otherwise. Speakers and monitor match the black/blue theme of the chassis.
p.s.s. For those of you wondering, since it's discussed in this thread- Vista 32-bit is running my 4 gigs of RAM at 3.50 gigs. Not bad at all. As was also covered in this thread- Installing 64-bit Vista would give me a full 4 gigs + ready to go. No worries here with anything. Once again, Vista is gorgeous.
Last thought for now, before I forget: I also received in the final package here, several upgrades. The monitor was upgraded. The mouse was upgraded to an optical. The keyboard was upgraded to the next model up from what I ordered. The motherboard was upgraded 1 model (MSI has phased out that model you see listed in this thread. They didn't give me the next ASUS up at 650I, they upgraded to the NEXT Asus after that. MSI themselves confirm this). The speakers and subwoofer- Amazing. So tiny, yet it's making a very large room in my house sound no different than a nightclub. The bottom line though is that not only did I get everything I ordered, I got a few hundred $$$ in upgrades as well. All "upgrades" were verified as such. Amazing straightforwardness and honesty out of Vigor with this. Looks like their 9.8 reseller rating is well deserved.
Sounds good, I'm glad it works for you and hope it continues to do so. :2thumbsup:
Thanks Husar...
(installing WoW patches...pretty fast)
Congrats on your shiny new toy! May it bring you much joy!
Thank you very much, Lemur! :beam:Quote:

Further, it had all sorts of nasty display problems, and continued runninig it's installer in the background stubbornly even when I was trying to uninstall.
I finally got every last file off the computer and I'm returning the game tomorrow or calling CA/Sega about this...or both.
I might just leave it alone at this point. The store by me doesn't even have standalone versions of the two games anymore.
We shall see. I certainly have my hands full with WoW for now.
:2thumbsup: Congrats! :2thumbsup:
I've subscribed to this thread just so I don't lose it, so I can use it when I decide to "hopefully" get myself a new pc sometime this summer.
