T-minus 5(?) days and counting...

[deximate]

I just got off the phone with Zach (one of the GeekBox tech geniuses), and he confirmed that my beast of a PC, a customized Ego Maniacal, will arrive (hopefully) on Monday or Tuesday of next week. I've promised him that upon arrival, the unboxing, setup, and magical moment when I hit the power button will all be captured on video + photographs. I will also be posting a full review, detailing the entire experience.
I'd like to be able to take the time to personally thank everyone on the GeekBox staff for, not only taking on this insane project, but for patiently answering all of my questions (no matter how stupid), helping me understand (in non-techie genius terms) what was happening and how the process works w/r/t a project of this magnitude. They even - and  this is unusual for self-proclaimed computer geeks - went hugely creative aesthetically w/ this computer, making sure the insides matched the outside and everything looked as tech-savvy on the exterior and the interior bits deserved to look. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at names and the only people whose names I can be sure actually belong to Geekbox employees are Zach and Adrian, both of whom did an incredible job. I really wish I could recall the name of everyone I've spoken to in the last month or two, because everybody I interacted with at GeekBox had the same friendly, upbeat and helpful demeanor that is so far and away from the kind of "help" one receives when phoning up one of their competitors (and I'm not just referring to the big, anonymous, mass-production computer giants - - I've dealt with high end, custom computer companies before, and I've never gotten anywhere near this level of professional competence matched with personal attentiveness before).

All I can really say is this: if you're on the fence whether spending a little more for the Geekbox experience makes sense, both in terms of product quality and company accessibility and integrity, it's really an easy decision. I haven't even seen (well, I've seen photographs - - yes, they send you photo updates) my computer yet, and I'm already completely sold on this company.
