    Posted: 25 Jun 2014 at 8:15am
I just placed an order for my Aventum II, and I'm beyond excited. I'll keep updating this thread as my order moves through the various stages. I'll also be taking an unboxing video, as well as many pictures once the beast arrives.

Here are the specs of this incoming monster:

Holy crap I'm excited.

Stage 2 - 6/29/2014
Stage 3 - 6/29/2014
Stage 4 - 7/1/2014
Stage 5 - 7/9/2014
Stage 6 - 7/23/2014
Stage 7 - 7/30/2014

Edit 3: Took some pictures of the monster all set up and running!

Just got a call from the DS team -- they said the Envy Green wouldn't be in stock for about 7 weeks, so I've switched to the Storm Blue. No complaints here, I was debating between the green and blue anyways!

Oh.. my jealousy still burns, just not as bright.

I am in love with the Envy Green case, it's just the cherry on the top of the 10 gallon bucket of awesomesauce that is the Aventum II...

Just heard from the DS team again, it looks like they encountered some issues during testing. I'm glad they're going to sort out the issues before shipping though, so it's worth the wait.

Maybe if I refresh the order status page a few more times, it'll arrive at my door?

Amazing to work with a company that cares about your machine just as much as you do. Let them do all the testing and sorting and by the time you get it, you'll know it's 100% and guaranteed to be that way for a long time.

Wish more companies had this character...

Keep us informed

Just saw it being shipped towards QA! I did snap some quick video shots of it (albeit before QA). Not sure if I want to ruin the surprise for you...
