w00t zen in this biotch
yep. waited a week instead of day0 this time. the board seems to have the features i want/need and the least issues based upon other user's comments.
pretty well stocked up on sammy, psc, bbse. probably need to grab some hynix but max mhz isnt my thing.
now if only all retail chips didnt suck

16Gb Avexir Core 2800Mhz
Samsung SSD 840 128Gb + RAID 0 500Gb F3

hopefully intel gets their act together and will give us a new stepping that will resolve this as well as the many other issues.

tweaktown has posted a review of the Z87 OC Formula.

Sighhh, any other online retailer?
I got the 3 day shipping because any faster and Newegg was trying to give it to me up the... Hopefully mine comes Monday, but I figure it'll be Tuesday. I ordered at like 8 AM CST, so it definitely shipped today. I'm going to hope some people have good results using some 4770k's, and then I'm going to drive over to my local MicroCenter and hopefully grab a close batch.
Edit: I just checked the tracking info... Apparently Saturday isn't a day UPS works because the three day delivery is scheduled for Wednesday.
still no mini on the egg...
called ontrac and found out that its sitting 15min away from my house. trying to pick it up today!
*edit*

What is ontrac Zen?
Happy benching
dont be jelly.
packaging/protection was quite impressive. be advised, you have to clip off some zip ties that secure it within the foam layer of protection. Also, be careful when taking the clear protective skin off of the oled display
no biggie, i put it right back on, no dust behind it, seals good enough i guess. no harm no foul.

glue on. glue that seems to have the same stickyness and consistancy of a dried soda. dont know if its a good thing or bad thing. bad, it came off to begin with, good its still sticky/tacky enough to put back on with minimal effort. not a big deal at all in any sense... if you looked you would never know. no bubbles, dust, fingerprints, nothing.
