Looks pretty solid. If you think you might want to use the analog audio outputs, it maybe work the Rampage IV Black edition for the improved audio.

Looks like a solid setup! Like Danjw1 said, the Rampage Black has a much better audio solution if audio is important to you.

A real nice rig you put together.   As far as spending this kind of money, you could save $3-400 using the Hailstorm 2 ,900d case, and get the same performance, but the Aventum is tops and not available anywhere else.   Aventum is a step up for those that can.

Pictures when you get it would be great. We love looking at DS rigs in action.

It's actually about a $200 difference for the exact same specifications. However, you lose out on a much better quality case that has superior cooling and something that you can't get anywhere else..

I'm wondering if the copper piping is still offered/available and if so how much more would that cost?

We do offer copper-tubing but only on our Aventum II build. The kit runs about $1,000 for a full loop.

Check the tracking number from Google.  It will (should) give you the name of the shipper.
